Hotel Review
LUMA Hotel, New York, USA
Sandwiched between two pre-war buildings, this modern hotel that opened in 2017 stands out with its glass façade. Located in mid-Manhattan near Times Square, it has a great location near two subway stations offering 17 train lines as well as a host of top New York sights. It features hi-tech rooms with premium features like Nespresso machines that you'd normally expect in a higher-grade hotel. Wellness features like workouts and beauty services are provided in-room, and there's free and discounted passes to nearby local gyms. With a buzzing restaurant and bar, it's also a great place to meet and socialise.

Style & Character
The hotel suits couples, families and solo travellers as well as those on business, wanting a bright, uplifting hotel stay in a central location but at reasonable rates for an upper-middle range boutique hotel. We loved the clever use of light and colour, with bold, bright, atmospheric colour-changing lighting.
Service & Facilities
The daily complimentary glass of Sangria is a nice touch.
