Muse New York

Midtown


Very near the theater district, the Muse is a shimmering 200-room high-rise brought to you by the Kimpton group, which is famed for its boutique hotels. A recent refurb has their rooms done up in bold blacks with colorful pop-art touches and Frette linens. Staff are generally helpful and added perks include evening wine reception, complimentary bike usage and in-room spa services.

The daily $30 amenities fee includes wi-fi and a $10 credit at the hotel bar.
