Fodor's Expert Review Sister City
225 Bowery, New York, New York, 10002, USA
In a refurbished tenement building, this minimalist hotel from the owners of the exceedingly hip Ace Hotels brand describes itself as an “experiment in essentialism” with a focus on the budget traveler. The Scandinavian design aesthetic suits the concept perfectly, so although the rooms are small and without frills, there are enough tucked-away spots to stash your clothes and hang your jacket. As expected, the public spaces attract a fashionable young crowd.
PROS
- uber cool rooftop bar, Last Light, with killer views
- Floret, the all-day café on the ground floor
- great location for downtown shopping and dining
CONS
- design can seem a bit too bare
- Last Light can get too cool for school
- far from Midtown tourist sights
