Woody Allen shot one of the most hilarious sequences of "Manhattan Murder Mistery" in this hotel. Don´t expect either a Ian Schrager look or a spa. On the contrary, you will sleep surrounded by old fashioned furniture, wallpaper and floral bedspreads. Its fantastic location in LES and its good rates make this hotel a solid value both for movie freaks and for average travellers. Note: Bathrooms are mostly shared.
Places to stay
The best location, in Nolita, Kenmare street, between Mott & Elizabeth, there isn't a better place to be in New York.
The rooms are spacious (compare with average hotel rooms in NY) and everything in the hotel is really new and clean.
They have all details in mind (great amenities, choose when you would like your room tidy up, free Wifi,... ) to make your stay a perfect stay.
Great choice for a NY hotel!
It just opened in mid-May after a great press coverage. This so-called budget hotel (150 € approx) epitomizes the new breed of hotels. Goodbye to design hotels, it's time to welcome subtle details and a more human-oriented spaces. Boho furnishings and a boho concept for boho people. Simplification seems to be the fanciest word of 2009. Corporate image is cool so grab their notebooks, pencils and all that you (legally) can.
We are tired of reading that it´s time for solid values. Well, this hotel is one of them. Located in Midtown, close to beautiful Grand Central, this place is one of the grand dames of the business. Cheaper that Waldorf and some other icons, it shares their magnificent spaces, functionality and really long corridors. If you wanna feel part of traditional American "grandeur" without spending too much, this is the place to stay. Currently they have terrific offers.
Imagine the situation: You are exhausted by doing shopping uptown and plan to devote the entire afternoon to the MoMA. The ideal scenario is to rest for half an hour and leave the stuff you bought somewhere. The Shoreham is perfect since it is located just two streets from MoMA. If you are lucky you can get a room with a view over its back façade. Rooms are not huge but this is New York... But you will have cool architecture, Aveda amenities and complimentary cappuccinos also help!
