Now that daily life is slowly going back to what it used to be, travellers are dusting off their suitcases once again 一even if it’s to go as far as a city trip. And what better place to do so than ‘the city that never sleeps’. Yes, welcome to New York!
Experienced travellers we’ll agree that a good trip is not just about the destination, but also about the accomodation. That is why we’ve listed 4 boutique-design hotels that will take your upcoming journey to the Big Apple to the next level.
Our first stop is the Freehand on 23 Lexington Avenue. Located in historic Manhattan’s Flatiron District, the Freehand was built upon the artistic atmosphere that characterized its surroundings. It even features custom-commissioned artwork made by Bard College students.
It’s an affordable and fun alternative, considering you can enjoy their rooftop as well as different restaurant options nearby. You can actually find further Freehand facilities in other cities like Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago.
Our following alternative is 11 Howard situated in New York City’s SoHo district. Scandinavian design can be appreciated around the entire hotel, along with exquisite pieces from different artists such as Hiroshi Sugimoto and Holly Fowler. 11 Howard’s conscious approach translates into comfort, familiarity and relaxation.
Public Hotel is our third option and surely it is the best one for all technophiles. Located on 215 Chrystie Street, the Public Hotel helds the latest technology and high-end design. Just as the Freehand, it offers a variety of “eat & drink” alternatives, including a rooftop with breath-taking views.
Finally, you can take a look at Aman New York too, which we highlighted as one of the must-watch hotel openings of this 2021. We also recommend these 3 boutique design hotels in Japan.
