Part futuristic spaceport, part Austin Powers set, this cool 713-room hotel bases its rooms on airplane classes: premium cabin (economy), first cabin (business) and suite (first) – some come with terraces and outdoor tubs. Yotel's design trademarks include adjustable beds and color-changing mood walls. Small but cleverly configured, all 'cabins' feature floor-to-ceiling windows with killer views, USB ports and device-streaming tech.
Hidden away on the 4th floor, the main hotel lobby feels like a city within a city, with an espresso bar, full-service restaurant, covered terrace bar with heaters – even an Off-Broadway entertainment space called the Green Room (ask staff about buying tickets for shows). The highlight is the city's largest outdoor hotel terrace, with a stunning skyscraper backdrop (naturally). The only downside is the grungy location, though you're still just a few blocks' walk from Times Square and Broadway.
