Highs & Lows
-
If you’re into the downtown fashion-y scene or just wanna be a part of it for a night or two, this is your place. Example: I’ve seen both Rosario Dawson and Alexa Chung chilling in the dim lit lobby bar countless times on previous visits. As for this stay, I saw an Olsen exiting the hotel during one of my cigarette breaks. Also, in the morning on another cig break before check out, paparazzi were chilling on the sidewalk waiting for someone special who was not me.
-
The food is amazing and room service is 24/7. The mini bar is on point too. I may or may not have consumed an entire jar of olives and caramel corn.
-
It’s my favorite hotel lobby in the city, decorated like my dream apartment. A really great spot to do work on your laptop or read a book during the day whilst munching on a caprese salad or such. At night, try to grab a couch with your homies and drink it up either for a pre-game or for a nightcap after the club. Did I mention there’s a fireplace?
-
When you book your room, I suggest getting a corner room like I had because of the priceless views. Incredible natural light.
-
The bed and the bath = so heavenly. Bed, bath and BEYOND, for real.
-
There is not a pool, but I don’t swim anyway. My only semi complaint is I wish the Bowery would open the rooftop for smokers. Can you imagine those views?! (Actually, I can. In my younger years, I may or may not have snuck up there a few times. DM me for tips on how to do this.)
Important Bits
-
Type
Luxury boutique hotel.
-
Vibe
A super downtown fashion world kind of scene, albeit in a chill way. There’s no one dancing and spilling drinks -- it’s all about lounging on the sofas and having an inebriated laugh.
-
Location
335 Bowery. My favorite part of town.
-
Rooms
135 rooms
-
Music
It’s low, if there is any at all. It’s better that way… to eavesdrop on the designer-clad folk hanging in the lobby and all of that fun stuff.
-
Year Opened
2007
-
Designed By
Designed by owners Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode. Besides the hotel bed and tub, I want to own everything in the lobby -- the plush couches, the light fixtures, the carpets, the fireplace. Give me everything.
-
Health & Wellness
No pool, but there's a fitness room.
-
Restaurant
Yep. Gemma. One of NYC's finest.
-
Bar
Yes. Very charming, sexy, fun, hip, etc., etc. Great for pre-gaming, a date or a nightcap or three.
-
Children
Please don’t. But according to the site, there’s a babysitting service.
-
Price
Typical for the location and the hotel’s level of greatness. Worth it, but if you can’t afford it, just chill in the lobby for a few drinks and a cheese plate (and celeb sightings if you’re into that).
