to luxe Uptown escapes, here are the Big Apple’s best hotels to check out—and

   FOUQUET’S NEW YORKARROW
   
   $$$ | Readers' Choice Awards 2023
   
   The French hotel line known for its Paris and St. Barth’s properties arrived
   in the U.S. in 2022 by way of New York. At a cobblestoned intersection in the
   Tribeca North Historic District, an industrialist red brick facade gives way
   to eight floors of ethereal Art Deco interior design straight out of the
   South of France. Fouquet’s New York’s pastel-colored luxury includes three
   dining options, an indulgent underground spa (complete with a sauna, hammam,
   and hydrotherapy pool), and a Cannes-inspired cinema space true to Tribeca’s
   popular annual film festival. The theater hosts programming like screenings
   and film premieres, and can be reserved for corporate and artistic events.
   The street-level outpost of the famed Champs d’Elysee bistro, Brasserie
   Fouquet’s is a destination in itself, with signature red and black bar
   mirroring its Paris (and Louvre Abu Dhabi) counterpart. A French lavender,
   mint green, and cream color scheme includes custom-made wallpapers with
   France-linked illustrations of New York City scenes like Lady Liberty,
   pizza-eating Central Park goers, and cartoon pigeons with croissants in their
   beaks.

   THE NED NOMADARROW
   
   $$$
   
   A short walk from the Empire State Building and flanked by landmark
   buildings, the location of The Ned positions it perfectly in relation to
   downtown Manhattan and Midtown’s business district. The NoMad neighborhood
   itself, which has seen tremendous transformation while also retaining its
   wholesale commerce underpinnings, is also worth discovering. Located in the
   Johnston building, a limestone-fronted 1908 Beaux-Arts landmark, it draws its
   character from the architecture of the building it's housed in. Once inside,
   spaces reveal themselves one after another like nesting Matryoshka dolls, and
   are served with a heap of Art Deco glam, including jewel-toned upholstery,
   marble floors, and mahogany wood—and plenty of moody corners to slink into.

   MODERNHAUS SOHOARROW
   
   $$
   
   If you’re looking for someplace close to all the action of New York’s buzzy,
   see-and-be-seen SoHo neighborhood—but that at once feels coolly removed from
   it all (and has its own rooftop pool, to boot)—this is the place for you.
   Formerly The James New York - SoHo, the hotel reopened in Spring 2021 after a
   nearly year-and-a-half-long renovation. There are 114 rooms spread across 14
   floors—10 different room categories, all generous in size. (By Manhattan
   standards, anyway; Modern Queen rooms start at about 280 square feet.) Its
   Twenty Three Grand restaurant touts global flavors and elevated classics with
   a Mediterranean flair. The year-round restaurant is primed to be a
   destination for al fresco dining and features a glass-enclosed space with a
   retractable roof. The hotel features premier wellness amenities, including a
   400-square-foot gym on the 17th floor (equipped with state-of-the-art fitness
   equipment) and a seasonal partnership with HigherDOSE.

   THE WALL STREET HOTELARROW
   
   $$
   
   In a part of the city often overlooked by travelers—at least when it comes to
   choosing a home-base—The Wall Street Hotel is a unique boutique stay in
   downtown Manhattan whose interiors nod to the area’s history and beaux-arts
   buildings. The Wall Street Hotel is not only an exciting addition to the
   landscape, but it also provides a great reason to reconsider Wall Street as
   your landing pad for a trip to the city. Nearly every train runs through the
   nearby Fulton center, meaning easy access to just about anywhere in Manhattan
   (Brooklyn is just a couple stops away, as is Jersey). The neighborhood is
   jam-packed with history dating back to the 17th century, and a little
   Googling or a great tour guide can help pull stories out of the landmark
   buildings in the neighborhood (George Washington hung out at nearby Fraunces
   Tavern, to give you an idea).

   GANSEVOORT MEATPACKINGARROW
   
   $$ | Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019
   
   At the corner of Ninth Avenue and 13th Street, the Gansevoort Meatpacking is
   a short stroll away from the art galleries of Chelsea, the brasserie-style
   restaurants of the West Village, and the smart boutiques of the Meatpacking
   District. Highlights include the 45-foot-long, heated rooftop swimming pool
   with underwater lights; the Duplex Penthouse Suite with a wall of windows
   looking out towards the Hudson River; on-site restaurant The Chester; and the
   service, which is remarkable for a boutique hotel. Up on the rooftop, savor
   classics and shareable dishes crafted with Union Square Greenmarket produce
   in the lounge, or head to the tucked-away Saishin by Kissaki at the
   Gansevoort Rooftop for excellent a la carte and omakase sushi with a view of
   the downtown skyline.

   $$$ | Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021
   
   Three blocks north of the Empire State Building on Fifth Avenue, this
   polished hotel has spacious rooms starting at 420 square feet—generous for
   New York. All units have walnut furnishings, wondrously comfortable Duxiana
   beds, and deep soaking tubs, while the apartment suites each have a full
   stainless-steel kitchen. The hotel holds the largest private collection of
   original paintings by New York City artist Alex Katz. Start your journey of
   exploring his work in the lobby. Tired and don't want to go too far for a
   good meal? You're in luck; Ai Fiori is downstairs as part of the hotel,
   serving everything from top-tier pasta dishes to classic Italian negronis
   made with vintage Campari.

   SOHO HOUSE NEW YORKARROW
   
   $$
   
   Those already familiar with Soho House will feel instantly at home here,
   where a few of the company's signature design elements are in place, like
   distressed wood floors and beamed ceilings, velvet chairs and sofas, exposed
   brick, and flattering lighting. As befits a members' club, it feels intimate,
   though not exclusive (the hotel portion is open to anyone). Not only are the
   rooms charming, but the supremely comfortable common spaces are places you'll
   want to spend a lot of time in—especially if you need to get some work done
   or just sit and read. When you book a room here, you're welcomed into the
   world of Soho House like a member, which is a nice feeling in this big, busy
   city. Plus, the location is prime, within a short distance of the High Line.

   THE CARLYLE, A ROSEWOOD HOTELARROW

   2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
   
   Since it opened in 1930, The Carlyle has become something more than the sum
   of its extremely alluring parts, a living legend that embodies, if not the
   spirit of New York City, at least one of her spirits: her brightest, most
   sparkling, most elegant self; witty, worldly and nostalgic. An entire movie
   has been made about this property—Always at The Carlyle—in which present-day
   tribal elders such as George Clooney, Sophia Coppola, Wes Anderson, and Naomi
   Campbell discuss their fondness for the joint. Broadly speaking, the rooms
   get better the higher the floor. Plus, you get to spend more time in the
   elevators—not an activity to enjoy in everyday life, but this is not everyday
   life. The ones at The Carlyle are the stuff of legend, as much admired as the
   astounding Dorothy Draper lobby or Bemelmans Bar. Imagine if you had been
   there when Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, and Steve Jobs all piled in (true
   story). You would have been in awe. Not of them, of course, but of the real
   superstar—the unflappable, icy-calm, white-gloved Carlyle elevator operator.

   THE RITZ-CARLTON NEW YORK, NOMADARROW
   
   $$$ | Hot List 2023 Readers' Choice Awards 2023
   
   During New York Fashion Week, this already-iconic hotel’s rooftop bar Nubeluz
   by José Andrés hosted a runway show for Bronx and Banco, complete with a
   downtown cool vibe and guest list to match—think actress Natasha Lyonne and
   rapper Coi Leray. Nubeluz (and The Ritz-Carlton New York, NoMad as a whole)
   was immediately cemented as an overnight New York City hot spot—just one
   example of how this legacy brand is reshaping its image. But how did a hotel
   conglomerate that is thought of as a bit stuffy create a hotel that is
   familiar to its existing clientele while becoming alluring to a new
   generation? The answers are found within the lobby which takes its
   inspiration and pays homage to its location in the floral district, the
   reservation-impossible Mediterranean restaurant Zaytinya (another José
   Andrés), view-laden rooms, and skin-tightening subterranean spa. Each space
   mixes current design trends, like hand-blown Randy Zieber floral
   petal-inspired chandeliers in the lobby and black Italian-marble walls, with
   the exceptional, discreet service that Ritz-Carlton is known for. We can’t
   imagine a more perfect place to shake things up than the capital of
   reinvention: New York.

   CROSBY STREET HOTELARROW
   
   $$$
   
   Pattern, color, whimsy—walking into Crosby Street Hotel is like entering a
   world representing the best of modern English design, as dreamed up by Brit
   founder and designer Kit Kemp. Everywhere you look, there's a special artwork
   or piece of furniture you'd want to stare at for awhile. It's all a big
   visual treat in the middle of SoHo. There's nothing better than making it
   through a hectic day out and about and coming back to perhaps the city's most
   perfectly designed (yet supremely comfortable) guest rooms. Aside from being
   a visual treat, the location is nearly perfect—a quiet block in the heart of
   SoHo, next to public transportation, but also in the most pleasingly walkable
   neighborhood you could find, with endless amounts of great restaurants, bars,
   bookstores, cafés, and shops.

   THE HOXTON WILLIAMSBURGARROW
   
   $ | Readers' Choice Awards 2021, 2023
   
   Last fall, when the Hoxton plunked itself down on Williamsburg’s Wythe
   Avenue—the neighborhood’s unofficial hotel strip—it was as much for New
   Yorkers as for visitors. Cases in point: a quirky, retro lobby that’s perfect
   for long, lazy Sunday afternoons; an events space that has hosted, among
   other things, a pop-up tattoo studio; a rooftop bar that doesn’t have a line
   (yet). The U.K.-based Ennismore designed the hotel to feel extremely
   Brooklyn, dotting it with locally sourced vintage furniture and bookshelves
   displaying hefty tomes on contemporary art, and ’70-style chandeliers hanging
   from the lofty ceiling. The three on-site restaurants—seasonal Summerly and
   Backyard and the year-round favorite Klein’s—are overseen by Jud Mongell and
   Zeb Stewart, the names behind Williamsburg’s beloved Five Leaves, Union Pool,
   and Hotel Delmano. The cocktails are a delight (order the mezcal-infused Fire
   Island), and the food spans everything from New American comfort at Klein’s
   to New England–style lobster rolls at Summerly. Upstairs, the 175 rooms, like
   the ones at the Hoxton in Paris, are not massive but fit king-size beds and
   have views of either the Manhattan or Brooklyn skyline.

   THE GREENWICH HOTELARROW
   
   $$$ | Gold List 2020, 2024 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2021
   
   In an era of the ever-more-exclusive members’ club luring the
   black-card-carrying wolf pack, Robert De Niro’s hotel makes privacy feel
   refreshingly effortless. Built more than a decade ago in a cobblestone
   quarter of Lower Manhattan, it creates the sensation of stepping into the
   actor’s own salon. The lobby is hung with abstract paintings by De Niro’s
   late father, and beyond it more inner sanctums await: A book-filled drawing
   room merges into a pocket garden, where topiaries cast an Italianate charm.
   Each of the 87 rooms is idiosyncratically arranged with antique silk rugs,
   the odd vintage table, and marble bathtubs, while the Tribeca Penthouse is
   earthy and minimalist. But the enduring revelation is the Shibui Spa, where
   the lantern-lit pool glimmers under the beams of a 250-year-old Japanese
   farmhouse. A festive din still kicks up at Locanda Verde, which serves rustic
   plates of duck orecchiette, and New York fixtures such as Yoko Ono and Jay-Z
   go pretty much incognito, but things settle down early. The wolf pack can go
   elsewhere.

   In the 36 years since Aman was founded and its first property opened its
   doors in Phuket, the brand has come to represent a certain kind of experience
   for a certain kind of traveler: discreet, expansive, and intimate, with a
   full-bodied approach to wellness and an almost chameleon-like ability to
   adapt to the surrounding landscape. So it goes with Aman New York, the latest
   jewel in its crown—the brand’s very first urban outpost in the United States,
   and only its second urban property in the world after Aman Tokyo. And what a
   crown it is: Taking up residence in Midtown Manhattan’s iconic Crown
   Building, a Beaux-Arts landmark carefully renovated with Belgian designer
   Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects, the space dazzles with a
   7,000-square-foot outdoor terrace, a spa and wellness center spread over
   three floors, and serene, high-ceilinged guest suites (each with its own
   fireplace).

   The Mercer is practically synonymous with SoHo. The Romanesque revival
   building itself, built in 1890, is an icon of the neighborhood, and once
   inside, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a cool-yet-sophisticated
   downtown luxury hotel: muted colors and modern furniture; a wall of coffee
   table books; and guest rooms that seem outfitted by the ultra-cool furniture
   showrooms that inhabit the area. It all adds up to a quintessential downtown
   Manhattan experience. The staff at the Mercer will go to the ends of the
   earth to take care of any request for their guests. It's a big reason people
   keep coming back for repeat visits.

   floors, glass-enclosed showers, patterned rugs and curated coffee table books
   from Phaidon. The hotel also has its own elevated public park, a 60-foot
   outdoor pool (known as the longest outdoor hotel pool in NYC), and two
   restaurants from famed chef Andrew Carmellini: Southern Italian-inspired
   Leuca and rooftop bar Westlight (complete with 360-degree city views).

   A cornerstone of the city’s five-star hotel scene, Mandarin Oriental’s New

   impressive vistas—the 75-foot lap pool overlooks the Hudson, the high-end MO
   Lounge boasts the Manhattan skyline as its backdrop, and the best rooms have
   bird’s eye views of Central Park. The rooms feel equal parts timeless in
   their definition of luxury—think heaping, decadent curtains for privacy, dark
   wooden desks, rich shades of the brand’s go-to purple—and contemporary, with
   modern artworks hung on the walls, shimmering structural light fixtures, and
   reflective metal details accenting every room. And the Mandarin Oriental’s
   spa is a destination in its own right. They offer standards like detox wraps
   and aroma stone massages, plus beauty treatments like hydradermabrasion and
   sculpting facials.

   Understated, elegant, and reminiscent of a private club, The New York EDITION
   isn't really a hipster hangout, nor is it an opulent, tricked-out palace. It
   expertly straddles the line of cool and sophisticated, with a predominately

   effect is a feeling of exclusivity. There are a lot of business travelers,
   given its convenient location to all parts of Manhattan. But they're the
   kinds of business travelers who care about their surroundings and who value
   great design, food, and amenities. Appreciate the restful simplicity of the
   white wood floors and little touches like the soft, faux-fur bed throw—If we
   had a U-Haul with us, we'd take the massive, beautiful walnut headboard
   against the bed. Plus, it's a couple hundred dollars less than the luxury
   mainstays you'd find further uptown, and right next to one of the city's best
   parks, to boot.

   THE LUDLOWARROW
   
   $ | Readers' Choice Awards 2019
   
   Fitting into its Lower East Side location, the Ludlow feels just cool and
   just hip enough without overdoing it. There are brick walls, low leather
   sofas, a roaring fireplace, and plenty of good-looking people sipping wine or
   working away on their laptops. In other words? It perfectly represents its
   neighborhood. Although not as buzzy as it was when it opened in 2014, the
   restaurant, Dirty French, is still a hopping place during dinner and weekend
   brunch (get the spicy pork chop with celery remoulade).

   Opulence greets you the minute you walk through the doors set just off of
   Fifth Avenue, where flower arrangements and a grand staircase serve as the
   lobby's centerpiece. It's a formal atmosphere, but not an unwelcoming one.
   Huge, luxurious guest rooms, a top-notch spa, swimming pool, an excellent
   restaurant (Clement), and one of the best service staffs in NYC make for an
   exceptional experience. While the rooms and facilities are grand, it's the
   staff's warmth that encourages repeat visits.

   designed, supremely attractive place to call home for as long as you're a
   guest here. Plus, it has one of the prettiest farm-to-table restaurants in
   all of Brooklyn: The Osprey. You can feel even better staying here knowing
   that the hotel is sustainable and eco-friendly, using recycled and repurposed
   materials for furniture, LED lighting, and a rainwater harvesting system. The
   rooftop pool has amazing views out over Manhattan and is where you'll want to
   be on warm days.

   If James Bond had an apartment in New York, it would probably look a lot like
   one of the guest rooms and suites here. It's all crisp, cool minimalism with
   contemporary furniture, stone floors, and dark wood. And even entry-level
   rooms clock in at 530 square feet, making them some of the biggest in the
   city. Take in city views and breakfast on the patio on one of several Terrace
   Suites. An entire day can be spent at the hotel's 25th-floor Spa Nalai. After
   a treatment, you can try the eucalyptus steam room, whirlpool, and saltwater
   lap pool, which has to be the most beautiful in Manhattan (and also features
   underwater speakers with a curated playlist by Carnegie Hall). After a day of
   respite, get ready for a night on the town with a hair treatment and blowout
   at world-renowned Rossano Ferretti Hairspa. This is a chance to stay in one
   of the tallest buildings in Manhattan at the cross-section of the city;
   Central Park is just a block away.

   THE ST. REGIS NEW YORKARROW
   
   $$$ | Gold List 2019 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2019
   
   Even the most unaffected New Yorkers can’t help but feel a tinge of nostalgia
   when passing through the gilded revolving doors of the St. Regis, promptly
   greeted by a gentleman with white gloves and a smile. The sense of the city’s
   golden era lingers in that lobby, where shining chandeliers warm the pale
   walls to create a necessary calming counter to the crush of cabs and suits in
   Midtown Manhattan. It’s precisely the atmosphere John Jacob Astor IV sought
   to capture when he opened this 18-story, Beaux-Arts landmark at the turn of
   last century. Today, there’s more Michael Kors than mink in the King Cole
   Bar, though the order hasn’t changed: Ignore the lengthy cocktail list and go
   for a note-perfect dry Martini or a Bloody Mary, the house speciality, and
   fall into conversation with the bankers in from Boston sitting at the bar.
   For those who do stay on for another martini (or three), it’s nice to know
   that your suite is just an elevator ride away. It may be done up in
   lipstick-ruby wallpaper or blue velvet curtains and striped white walls, with
   classic pieces such as silk-stitched love seats and oil paintings to resemble
   that glamorous pied à terre everyone fantasizes about. This is a New York
   institution that channels the city’s glamorous past like no other, steps from
   the Fifth Avenue buzz.

   $$ | Gold List 2019 Readers' Choice Awards 2018, 2019, 2022, 2023
   
   When a hotel opens in New York, it’s not uncommon for locals to barely bat an
   eye. This is, after all, a city crawling with them—big, small, modern,
   classic. It  takes an exceptional property to capture the collective
   consciousness, which is exactly what happened in 2016, when The Beekman
   opened. The landmark was built in the 1880s with a nine-story, glass-ceiling
   atrium, but throughout the past century, the atrium had been covered up as
   the building functioned as just another office. Now the glass skylight soars
   once again above the lobby’s Art Deco bar where New Yorkers flock to—come 6
   p.m. it’s nearly impossible to find a free bar stool. The rooms all have
   vintage furnishings, with dark wood floors and distressed leather headboards:
   comfortable but not so much so that you don’t want to leave and miss out on
   everything happening around you. So many hotels like to say they’ve made the
   neighborhood, but in the case of the Beekman it’s actually true.

   fobs. Nowhere in the city feels quite as refined. Every room has fresh
   flowers, while huge marble bathrooms have separate tub and shower areas,
   Frette bath robes, and custom-made products from the high-end line DDC28.
   Unlike big luxury chains, there's a small-scale, quiet, and personalized
   feeling here that's worth the lack of extras (like a swimming pool or spa).

   Walking into the lobby at The Bowery feels like stepping back into a Gothic

   a gothic vision. Dimly lit and oozing atmosphere, it's a world of crimson
   velvet, dark leather and wood, threadbare Oriental rugs and oil paintings.
   The effect is transportive to another time, but somehow still rooted in
   downtown NYC. The view from one of the upper floors is something you'll never
   get tired of, and is worth the splurge. The Bowery's in-house restaurant,
   Gemma, is a solid choice on warm evenings—grab an outdoor table and get ready
   for some of the best people-watching in NYC. After dinner, few places are
   better for a glass of red than the lobby lounge (its fireplace makes the
   atmosphere even better).

   $$$ | Gold List 2024
   
   This New York hotel is a Cipriani property, so it’s luxury to the max, but in
   that effortlessly chic Italian sort of way. Picture it: presidential suites
   featuring cashmere-covered walls by Loro Piana Interiors—that’s the sort of
   luxurious detail you’ll find in every nook and cranny of the guest rooms at
   Casa Cipriani. The sheets on the bed are from the 150-year-old luxury linen
   house Rivolta Carmignani based in Macherio, just outside of Milan. Prior to
   check-in guests can choose between Italian cotton or Italian linen. It’s hard
   not to fall completely under the spell of the hotel from the minute you step
   into your room or suite. Maybe it’s the Art Deco light fixtures or artwork on
   the wall. Maybe it’s the jazz playing softly in the background, or the way
   the setting sun hit the lacquer furniture and the shiny brass knobs. But
   perhaps the most remarkable thing about the guest rooms at Casa Cipriani are
   the private terraces. The spacious private terraces. Be sure to request a
   river-facing room because there’s really nothing like this view anywhere in
   town: Next to the hotel, you’ve got the Staten Island Ferry pulling in and
   out of Whitehall Terminal; that’s Governor’s Island straight ahead, and
   beyond that, Brooklyn. To your right, you’ve got the Statue of Liberty. But
   there’s also so much going on inside Casa Cipriani that no one would blame
   you if you spent your entire stay on the premises: the Club restaurant, the
   Jazz Café, the Pickering Room, the Promenade Bar, and the Living Room. On top
   of all that, the hotel service is attentive but not at all intrusive. They
   truly make you feel like you’re the most important person in the room, and
   who doesn’t want to feel like that for a few nights? From $800. —Lauren

   Modern master Martin Brudnizki’s latest riot of colors, patterns, and
   curiosities is perhaps his most impeccably orchestrated yet. The vaulted
   lobby is dressed up in ornate wall panels; corridors are bedecked in vivid
   wallpapers; rooms are filled with painted screens and pagoda-style lamps that
   are an ode to the travels of hotel owner Alex Ohebshalom. A go-for-broke
   assemblage of art, from old-world oils to modern photography, greets you
   around every corner. It’s the bold palette Brudnizki is known for, a
   dreamlike pastiche that would have been chaos in the hands of a less
   practiced hand. Just as adept is the hospitality, which extends from the
   ready-to-please butler service on every floor to extra touches like the
   candle that’s slipped into your room after you’ve complimented the scent in
   the lobby, a martini cart that appears at your door when you need a nightcap,
   and the warm welcome you’ll get when you return. And you will return, even if
   just for a perfect Negroni at the hotel’s Portrait Bar or an extravagant dish
   from Café Carmellini—but most of all, for the chance to wake up in a giant
   cabinet of curiosities in the heart of New York’s NoMad district. From $895.

   No one knew what to expect when a 258-year-old French luxury brand opened its

   at least one over-the-top chandelier. The hotel did not disappoint, but what
   was surprising was how wonderful its opulence felt, after all that
   industrial, bare-bulb, and rough-hewn everything—like a return to Champagne
   after years of lager. Unabashed opulence is what you get as soon as you step
   into the lobby, where there are about 15,000 pieces of the brand's crystal
   throughout, including glassware and chandeliers. Arrangements of fresh red
   roses everywhere add a touch of color. But even though the hotel is a
   singular vision, it may be the little touches—like Baccarat tumblers in the
   bathroom—that make a stay special.

   It’s a given that young visitors to New York don’t want to blow the budget on
   a fancy hotel room. Better to book something that’s at least clean,
   comfortable, and strategically located, and spend the extra cash on that
   restaurant everyone has been posting about. Freehand takes this compromise
   and somehow manages to make it feel sexy and stylish. Rooms, including
   queens, kings, and bunk rooms for four, are basic—verging on dorm-like—but
   brightened up with artworks that sometimes snake across the walls and
   ceilings. Like the model that Ian Schrager engineered with Morgans Hotel in
   the 1980s, here it’s all about the public spaces, which the design studio
   Roman and Williams filled with glossy tiles, dark woods, and walls in deep
   turquoise, with quirky touches such as sheepskin rugs and plants in
   mismatched ceramic pots. Most importantly, there’s a feast of food and drink
   options: an outpost of award-grabbing cocktail joint Broken Shaker on the
   roof; a to-go counter off the lobby, an offshoot of downtown favorite
   breakfast spot the Smile; and two restaurants and another bar from Gabriel
   Stulman, of the West Village’s Bar Sardine. Freehand captures everything
   travelers come to New York for, under one well-designed, well-priced roof.

   Walking into the Marlton feels like being transported to the 19th century,
   where there's little evidence of modern technology, and where guests and
   locals hang out in the dimly lit, fireplace-warmed lobby, which features lots
   of dark wood and antique rugs. The beauty of being here is forgetting what
   era you're in. Rooms are small, but beautiful, and if you feel too cramped,
   you're right in the middle of Greenwhich Village and all it has to offer.
   Hotel guests move to the top of the list at the in-house restaurant, Margaux.
   That's a good thing, as you'll want to try the Amish rotisserie chicken with
   smashed sweet potato and burnt lemon. Having a glass of wine by the fireplace
   in the gorgeous lobby is the perfect thing to do on chilly evenings. As is
   being able to take the elevator right upstairs to the room afterwards.

   HOTEL CHELSEAARROW
   
   $$ | Hot List 2023
   
   Hotel Chelsea may not be filled with famous musicians anymore, but the
   rock-and-roll vibe remains. Long-term residents who have been grandfathered
   into their apartments in the building still float around, and most
   guests—usually drawn by the hotel’s history—have a knowingness to them,
   whether they’re in their 30s or 60s. The 158 guest rooms and suites have wood
   floors with the Hotel Chelsea monogram now inlaid; the sun dapples through
   ivory eyelet fabric on the windows; and the bathrooms are classically done
   with light and dark grey marble accentuated by bronze details. Animal-print
   chairs maintain a bit of spunk in the now bright, airy rooms, as do ornate
   dark wood bedside tables. Massive closets, their interiors a riot of
   wallpaper, make it even easier to imagine unpacking and sticking around for a
   while. If you visited the Chelsea back in the day, you’ll recognize the
   original fireplaces, stained glass windows, and those iconic wrought-iron
   balconies leaning over West 23rd Street, which have been restored. Rooms from
   $199. —Megan Spurrell

   NINE ORCHARDARROW
   
   $$$ | Hot List 2023
   
   Ask any in-the-know New Yorker for their favorite neighborhood, and chances
   are the Lower East Side will be it. The place teems with urban cool. Tattoo
   parlors on every corner. Low-key restaurants where the plates rival those in
   SoHo, but the crowd is a blend of skaters, designers, and musicians. When
   Nine Orchard opened June 2022 on a historic corner in the neighborhood, it
   brought with it a degree of sophistication seldom celebrated here. There are
   the historical bones, for one, located inside an old, grand bank, with an
   airy lobby bar humming under old vaulted ceilings that rival those up at
   Grand Central. Classic dishes like steak au poivre and frites are exceptional
   at the attached Corner Bar (the tables are lovely with their minimal
   settings, but the pick of seats is one of the 40 stools at the wraparound
   bar). With a full belly, you’ll happily plunk down into one of the property’s
   113 guest rooms with simple wood bed tables and hand-carved chairs that feel
   like a groovy space to tune into the custom radio stations created for the
   hotel by DJ Stretch Armstrong and Devon Turnbull, New York-based DJ and
   producer who focus on New York inspired music on all four of the in-hotel
   stations. Whatever station you choose, this landmark hotel offers locals and
   visitors alike a sense of being grounded in a place, and pays homage to the
   neighborhood and its city as one of the very best in the world. Rooms from
   $525. —Lara Kramer

   ACE HOTEL BROOKLYNARROW
   
   $$ | Hot List 2022 Readers' Choice Awards 2023
   
   The lobby in any Ace hotel is the place to be, and its Brooklyn outpost is no
   different. There are public workspaces galore—including a library-style
   table, a plant-filled garden, and a moody bar area with cozy seating—and
   plenty of guests, locals, and staff making use of them all. Many of the
   hallmarks of Ace decor are present in the 287 rooms: plywood furniture that
   offers both form and function, local art, and pops of color (in this case, a
   deep green). But the room design also leans into the industrial building’s
   architecture, with exposed concrete and warehouse windows.

   WARREN STREET HOTELARROW
   
   $$$ | Hot List 2024
   
   To step into the Warren Street Hotel is to immerse yourself in the whimsical
   and wacky world of Kit Kemp. As the interior designer’s third New York City
   property with the Firmdale hospitality group (and 11th overall), each space
   is packed with her trademark eccentricity and magpie-like knack for sourcing
   eclectic artworks and inspiration from around the world—from the British
   craft and ceramics on display in the light-filled “Orangery” downstairs to
   the abstract sculptures greeting guests in the buttercup yellow lobby. Even
   the carpets are done up in a limited edition batik pattern, courtesy of Kit
   Kemp for Wilton Carpets. Meanwhile, no two rooms are the same—all have been
   designed by Kemp to exude their own personality, whether it be through the
   patterned headboards above king-size beds, one-of-a-kind artworks spanning
   all sorts of creative movements and styles, custom-made wallpaper and
   egg-shaped lighting, or even an occasional mishmash of antique furniture.
   Downstairs at the restaurant, where Tribeca locals jostle with guests for a
   prime-time table, dishes like a rich foie gras terrine and spaghetti alle
   vongole are served beneath custom-made wallpaper so beautiful it almost
   rivals the murals at the Carlyle’s legendary Bemelmans bar uptown. Kemp is a
   master when it comes to transforming a space into a riot of color and wit,
   and this latest endeavor may just be her most playful yet. From $875. —Lale

   with 30 sprawling suites (all with floor-to-ceiling windows) and 164 guest

   days planned out in the Manhattan West development, knowing you’ll have a
