What was once a hat factory is now a cool slumber spot, its 12 floors of design-literate, faintly industrial rooms fusing dark-oak hardwood floors with custom furnishings, high-tech gadgetry and marbled bathrooms. Topping it off (literally) is the fabulous rooftop bar, a great spot to sip a martini with one eye on the Empire State Building.
Last but not least is the location: a short stroll from atmospheric Bryant Park and the dazzle of Broadway theaters.
