Hotel Le Bleu

New York City


Situated on a busy avenue in Gowanus, this hotel manages to pull off 48 attractive units in a sleek palette of beige, white and blue (it’s not ‘Le Bleu’ for nothing). Rooms are chock-full of amenities, including bathrobes and coffeemakers, and the best offer views across Brooklyn or a distant eyeful of Lady Liberty. Breakfast is included.

During off-peak periods, the low prices make this a deal.

While Fourth Ave isn't pretty, the location is walking distance to restaurants and bars in the heart of Park Slope and the music venues of Gowanus.
