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.
★ 9.5 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
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.
★ 9.3 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
NoMad — Broadway
Daniel Humm's restaurant downstairs anchors one of Manhattan's most reliably excellent hotel experiences. The library lounge is a masterclass in atmosphere, rooms mix Parisian elegance with New York edge, and the NoMad neighbourhood has matured into one of the city's best dining corridors.
★ 9.1 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Brooklyn's coolest hotel delivers on every front — rooftop bar with Manhattan skyline views, a ground-floor taqueria that draws locals, and rooms that nail the industrial-meets-cozy aesthetic. The neighbourhood location means you're in the thick of Williamsburg's best restaurants and vintage shops.
★ 9.0 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
West Village
A handsome brownstone conversion on a quiet West Village block with surprisingly spacious rooms for the neighbourhood. The lobby lounge serves proper cocktails, and you're a three-minute walk from the best stretch of Bleecker Street. Excellent value for a location that most hotels charge double.
★ 8.7 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
Midtown East
The best budget option in Midtown that doesn't feel like a compromise. Rooms are genuinely small — this is a pod concept — but cleverly designed with custom built-ins, and the rooftop bar has views you'd expect at four times the price. Walking distance to Rockefeller Center and Central Park.
★ 8.2 Hotelier's Choice score, 40+ criteria · Many rooms include free cancellation
