The Greenwich Hotel

The Greenwich Hotel

Part-owned by Robert de Niro, the Greenwich Hotel maintains an unassuming, quiet comfort. Wood-beamed ceilings and exposed brick are matched in their rustic sensibility by the tufted leather seating and fireplace, while a Japanese influence is evident in the folding room dividers, shoji-style panels, and the serene courtyard garden. The pièce de résistance, however, is the underground pool and Shibui Spa, which sits beneath a 250-year-old bamboo and reclaimed wood roof.

1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge

Courtesy

A city hotel with a natural feel, the 1 Hotel aims to bring the outdoors (and then some, given that we're talking about nature-sparse NYC) indoors, for an organic yet luxurious feel in the heart of a major city. Expect natural touches in every room, but don't anticipate glamping, or rusticity of any sort–this property is more about thoughtful decor and sustainability than a hippie dippie vibe. 1 Hotel (which has another location on Central Park) is all about laid-back luxury, and knowing that your food and decor has been responsibly and thoughtfully sourced.
