Looking for a place to stay in New York City?\u00a0 I am a big fan of boutique hotels, as I find they are an extension of the vibes of their specific neighborhoods.\u00a0 Here\u2019s a list I\u2019ve curated of boutique hotels in New York based on places that my friends and I have experienced.<\/p>\n Dream Downtown Hotel:<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 The home screen of the room welcomes you with a montage of the celebrity sightings at the hotel. The PH-D lounge has one of the best views of NYC.\u00a0 We went there for a pre-dinner cocktail on a warm early fall evening and took in the gorgeous view. Not to miss: The Electric Room. This intimate space is tricky as it requires you to enter through the loading dock of the hotel and pass a strict doorman code. We waited around twenty minutes to get in (we’re not the rockstars that we used to be) but the people watching was fun. \u00a0My full review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The London NYC:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a> One of the limiting factors of boutique hotels in New York City is space.\u00a0 Not the case with The London NYC.\u00a0 The all-suite hotel is just a fifteen minute walk from the lights of Times Square.\u00a0 Although it is centrally located, once you enter it is like coming into an oasis of luxury.\u00a0 One of my favorite parts of my stay was indulging at\u00a0The London Bar where they make the perfect craft cocktails<\/a>.\u00a0 The menu is changed seasonally, looking forward to their mulled and spiced drinks this fall!<\/p>\n The Broome Hotel:<\/a><\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 My friend Kristen from Border Free Travels<\/a> raves about her stay at The Broome Hotel.\u00a0 She picked the hotel for a video she shot with the brand Anje and immediately fell in love with the property. (Check out their video here<\/a>)\u00a0 Located in SoHo, it is at the epicenter of all things chic in New York.\u00a0 Although there is so much to explore in the neighborhood, make sure to take the time for a coffee in their beautiful patio.\u00a0 My friends Jaime and Mike who work near SoHo recommend Osteria Morini, Parm, and Balthazar for a great meal.<\/p>\n Viceroy New York:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/a> \u00a0When I asked my friend Lacy<\/a> of the expate<\/a> about boutique hotels in New York City, she told me about the famous rooftop bar at the Viceroy New York with a grand view of Central Park.\u00a0 The rooms are beautifully designed with modern wood furniture.\u00a0 Take a break from the madness of the city and explore the art in their lobby.\u00a0 Central Park is just steps away from the hotel. Whether it is summer or winter, there\u2019s always something to do at this beloved New York City park. Check out Central Park\u2019s website for information on upcoming events.<\/p>\n The Condor Hotel<\/a>:<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 For many New York City is only Manhattan but there is so much to see in the Burroughs.\u00a0 The Condor Hotel is a boutique hotel in the popular Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn.\u00a0 The location is perfect to discover Brooklyn and it is also a short train ride to Downtown NYC. The rooms have a modern d\u00e9cor of blue and chocolate, which fits perfectly into the trendy theme of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Boro Hotel:<\/a> \u00a0This design hotel falls under the category of “places I want to stay” as it recently opened. \u00a0Its modern design, clean design, and killer views makes it one of the new hot hotels in NYC. One of my best friends got married in Long Island City years ago and I immediately fell in love with the views of New York City from this neighborhood. \u00a0Many people may ignore Queens when looking for hotels in New York, but think again. \u00a0With a great\u00a0foodie scene with\u00a0Mu Ramen, M. Wells, and Smorgasburg Queens nearby and a train ride away from Manhattan, it is a great alternative to get an authentic view of New York City.<\/p>\n<\/a>
