Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
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.
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.
Times Square
If you must stay near Times Square — and for first-timers or Broadway fans, there are good reasons to — the Moxy handles it better than anything else in the area. The rooftop bar is genuinely fun, rooms are compact but well-designed, and the lobby bar doubles as a co-working space. Best value in the Theatre District.
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.
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.
Midtown — Fifth Avenue
A sanctuary of calm above the Fifth Avenue crowds. Sprawling suites with fireplaces, a three-story spa, and a Japanese-inflected restaurant that alone justifies the trip. The pinnacle of Manhattan luxury.
