Hotels
The Ace Hotel, NoMad
The Ace Hotel’s location in downtown Brooklyn makes it a perfect base from which to traverse the borough’s buzziest neighbourhoods, including Fort Greene and Cobble Hill, while Manhattan is just a short train ride away. Expect sleek minimalist interiors and impressive city views.
Warren Street Hotel, Tribeca
The hotel’s eye-catching windows and blue façade stand out against the prevailing red brick of its Tribeca block. Explore the numerous art galleries nearby and return for a decadent champagne-fuelled afternoon tea or a steak au poivre at the brasserie.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel, NoMad
The Fifth Avenue Hotel, located in Manhattan’s busy NoMad neighbourhood, offers 153 guest rooms with emerald-green walls and pink couches courtesy of Swedish architect Martin Brudnizki. Dine at Café Carmellini and sip punchy cocktails at The Portrait Bar.
Nine Orchard Hotel, Lower East Side
Manhattan’s Lower East Side has become one of the most electrifying parts of town and Nine Orchard is a fine base from which to explore it. Set in a 1912 building that once housed a bank, the 14-floor property has been carefully preserved, from the pearly façade to the vaulted ceilings. The 116 guest rooms are sights in themselves but the most stunning space is the Swan Room bar, which features luxurious booths, a grand chandelier and pink marble walls.
