Crosby Street Hotel

Top choice in SoHo & Chinatown


The team behind this hotel have torn up the rule book in terms of interior design, and the results are sublime. Guest rooms all have oversized headboards with matching mannequins, but that's where the uniformity ends. Some are starkly black and white while others are as floral as an English garden; all are plush, refined and subtly playful.

The lobby is an eccentric, art-filled space that leads to a vibrant public bar, discrete drawing room with honesty bar, and sculpture garden. Downstairs, there's even a film-screening room.
