SoHo & Chinatown
Right in the heart of SoHo’s brick lanes, the decades-old Mercer is where stars sleep. Above a lobby full of fat, plush sofas, 74 rooms offer a slice of chic loft life in a century-old warehouse. Flat-screen TVs, dark hardwood floors and white-tiled bathrooms (some with soaking tubs) add a modern touch to the rooms.
Passes to a 24-hour gym nearby are included.
