Hotel Hugo

SoHo & Chinatown


It might not have the bells and whistles of some SoHo hotels, but Hotel Hugo is a quiet champion in this pricey 'hood. Rooms channel industrial style, there's a rooftop bar and suave restaurant-cafe. It's a 10- to 15-minute walk from central SoHo but that's A-OK when prices can be as low as $240 a night even in peak season.
