› B&B On the Park ( www.bbnyc.com ) This beautiful Victorian B&B has five rooms splashed
out in Persian-style rugs, potted plants and poster beds covered in pillows.
Best Top End
› Gramercy Park Hotel ( www.gramercyparkhotel.com ) The rooms - overlooking nearby
Gramercy Park - have customized oak furnishings, 400-count Italian linens, and big,
feather-stuffed mattresses on sprawling beds.
› Andaz Fifth Avenue ( http://andaz.hyatt.com ) Uber-chic yet youthful and relaxed, the Andaz
ditches stuffy reception desks for hip, mobile staff who check you in on tablets in the art-
laced lobby.
› Crosby Street Hotel ( www.firmdalehotels.com ) A boutique favorite in SoHo, the ever- fash-
ionable Crosby Street offers a see-and-be-seen bar and one-of-a-kind rooms ranging from
the starkly black and white to the floral and whimsical.
› Greenwich Hotel ( www.greenwichhotelny.com ) From the plush drawing room (complete with
crackling fire), to the lantern-lit pool inside a reconstructed Japanese farmhouse, nothing
about Robert De Niro's Greenwich Hotel is generic.
› Langham Place ( http://newyork.langhamplacehotels.com ) Rooms at the luxurious, skyscraping
Langham Place are more akin to suites. Understatedly chic, all feature neutral hues, hand-
some wood paneling, Duxiana mattresses and Nespresso machines.
› Chatwal New York ( www.thechatwalny.com ) A restored art deco jewel in the heart of the
Theater District, the Chatwal is as atmospheric as it is historic.
