THE LATEST ENTRIES
Citizenm New York Bowery: Floor-toceiling windows add light and downtown views to the small but functional rooms. Pluses include 24/7 food and beverage service. (Just in case you want to take the “city that never sleeps” thing literally.)
Equinox Hotel: Officially taking reservations now for its opening in June, it will have access to a massive gym with a 23m indoor salt-water pool. (And yes, there’s a Soulcycle just downstairs.)
Freehand Hotel New York: Book a suite to avoid feeling as if you’re sleeping in a gussied-up dorm room. Then set your alarm earlier than you need to: breakfast here is one of the best in the city.
Hoxton Williamsburg: The rooms are “cosy” and the commute from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, can be brutal. Still, there are fondue dinners in heated geodesic domes throughout the winter and power outlets near sun loungers for outdoor co-working come summer.
Made Hotel: Lots of outdoor spaces (including the rooftop tiki bar and a central (if slightly offbeat) location on West 29th Street make it a cool midtown option.
Moxy Chelsea: The most successful outpost of this budding Marriott brand, it has an airy solarium where you can plug in before happy hour.
Park Terrace Hotel: If you’d rather feel as if you’re staying in a luxury condo than a hotel, this new entry will hit the spot.
Ritz-carlton Central Park South:
The classic property is about to wrap a renovation; for luxury-seekers, its knockout park views and generously proportioned rooms will be a respite from the micro-hotel trend.
Sister City: Hyper-minimalist, it takes design cues from Japanese bento boxes and Finnish saunas, and uses connections to nature (plants, real-time video projection of the sky) for an urban escape.
Times Square Edition: Ian Schrager’s latest project includes Blade Runner-style terraces and ambitious restaurants.
