Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Greenwich Village
A literary-chic boutique tucked into the heart of the Village. Intimate rooms with brass fixtures, an espresso bar that doubles as a scene, and a location that puts you steps from Washington Square Park.
DUMBO, Brooklyn
Eco-luxury with genuinely spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge. The rooftop pool is one of the best in the city, the sustainability credentials are real (not greenwashing), and DUMBO puts you walkable to Brooklyn Bridge Park and the waterfront.
Upper East Side
Jacques Grange-designed interiors, Jean-Georges restaurant on the ground floor, and a Madison Avenue address that puts you steps from the Met and Central Park. The Mark is the Upper East Side's definitive luxury hotel — the kind of place where the pedicab to Central Park is complimentary and the hot dog cart outside is curated.
Meatpacking District
Straddling the High Line like a concrete periscope over the Hudson, The Standard is still one of Manhattan's most photogenic hotels. Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, Le Bain rooftop bar, and a Meatpacking location that puts you at the doorstep of Chelsea Market and Whitney Museum.
Financial District
A restored 1883 landmark with a soaring nine-story Victorian atrium that stops you in your tracks. Tom Colicchio's restaurant on the ground floor is legitimately excellent, and the Financial District location — once considered a drawback — now means peaceful weekends and easy access to the Brooklyn Bridge and Seaport District.
TriBeCa
Robert De Niro's TriBeCa hotel feels like a private residence rather than a commercial property. No two rooms are alike, the Shibui Spa features a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse reassembled in the basement, and the cobblestone-street location is genuinely one of the quietest in Lower Manhattan.
