The Bowery Hotel Despite the history associated with its
name and location, the Bowery Hotel, opened in 2007, is about as
far from a flophouse as you could imagine. Standing in the heart of
NoHo, the hotel, though new, has that burnished, dark wood look
inside, most evident in the expansive lobby with a fireplace, velvet
draperies and furniture, vintage paneling, Moroccan tiles, and an
adjoining outdoor area complete with plush lounge chairs. The
rooms, and there are no two the same, are large and airy by New
York standards with high ceilings, ceiling fans, many with terraces
and all with spectacular views. As the Gansevoort Hotel did for the
Meatpacking District, the Bowery Hotel is doing for the Bowery—
making a once desolate area a hip destination.

Hotel Gansevoort Built from the ground up by hotelier
Henry Kallan (of New York's Hotel Giraffe and The Library), the
Gansevoort was the first major hotel in the Meatpacking District.
And now, this 14-floor zinc-colored tower, with its open, sprawling
lobby, popular restaurant Ono, and indoor/outdoor rooftop bar and
pool is the symbolic anchor of the district. The Gansevoort offers
excellent, personable service. Rooms are a good size with comfort-
able furnishings in soft tones and high-tech amenities such as plasma
televisions and Wi-Fi. Suites have a living room and separate bed-
room and some have small balconies and bay windows. Corner suites
offer adjoining guest rooms. The generous-size bathrooms are done
up in ceramic, stainless steel, and marble and are impeccably
appointed. In all the guest rooms and throughout the hotel, original
art by New York artists is on display.
