Manhattan Hotels

  1. 1 1 Star Rating: Poor The Jane Hotel
    Read Reviews

    113 Jane St, New York, NY 10014 (map)

    Bare bones accommodations for $99 a night in the West Village, courtesy of Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson--the same duo behind the more upscale Bowery and Maritime hotels.

  2. 2 3 Star Rating: Average The Bowery Hotel
    Read Reviews

    335 Bowery, New York City, NY 10003 (map)

    From the BBar and Maritime Hotel owners, this deluxe high-rise proves that sleeping on Bowery isn't just for "bums." Stay here if you have a weak spot for spacious rooms, marble bathrooms and amenities like Bigelow bathroom products.

  3. 3 Thompson LES
    Write a review

    190 Allen St, New York, NY 10002 (map)

    This addition to the Thompson Hotel Group takes root in an ever-burgeoning downtown neighborhood, offering high-enders amenities like a mini-bar stocked by Dean & Deluca, luxury linens by Sferra, a pool and fitness center.

  4. 4 4 Star Rating: Recommended Hotel on Rivington
    Read Reviews

    107 Rivington St, New York, NY 10002 (map)

    This luxury hotel towers over Lower East Side tenements, giving guests a unique view of the city. It boasts rooms that are 30 percent larger than the average New York City hotel room, so go for space--and for its hipster-centric location.

  5. 5 4 Star Rating: Recommended The Mercer Hotel
    Read Reviews

    147 Mercer St, New York, NY 10012 (map)

    You're likely to mix with Soho locals at the bar here. This hotel, smack in the middle of one of New York's most desirable neighborhoods, is a place where tourists stay, but one where true New Yorkers go for food and booze, too.

  6. 6 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Carlyle Hotel
    Read Reviews

    35 E 76th St, New York, NY 10021 (map)

    Presidents, royalty and countless stars have stayed here--fans of the old-school grace and discretion embedded in every crevice. If it's good enough for them, hopefully the unparalleled class and comfort is good enough for you too.

  7. 7 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Mandarin Oriental New York
    Read Reviews

    80 Columbus Cir, New York, NY 10023 (map)

    The views from the rooms here--of Central Park, the city skyline and the Hudson River--are phenomenal. The overall aesthetic, which combines Asian-inspired elements with modern twists, also serves to justify the high prices.

  8. 8 3 Star Rating: Average Maritime Hotel
    Read Reviews

    88 9th Ave, New York, NY 10011 (map)

    The Meatpacking District may harbor many temporary residences for out-of-towners, but this is the only one that has a maritime theme. In addition to its location near many of the city's nightlife ladmarks, the hotel itself houses a few chic restaurants and bars.

  9. 9 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended W New York - Union Square
    Read Reviews

    201 Park Ave S, New York, NY 10003 (map)

    Minimalism rules here, and guests enjoy modern decor as well as a chance to access any nook of the city without too much hassle, as many subway lines are located right outside.

  10. 10 4 Star Rating: Recommended Tribeca Grand Hotel
    Read Reviews

    2 6th Avenue, New York, NY 10013 (map)

    A comely hotel unique for its triangular shape offers visitors a prime location in one of Manhattan's most desirable hoods, as well as a slew of amenities like high thread count sheets and access to eats around the clock. As an added bonus, this place is surprisingly family friendly, so don't shy away from showing up with the kids in tow.
