This was Downtown Manhattan's first luxury boutique hotel and remains ever-popular with both trendsetters and celebrities alike. Brandishing an industrial-chic vibe, it mixes materials like hardwood, concrete and metal with soft, colourful fabrics. There's a diverse set of eateries and drinking establishments, including late-night club with live music. It's not the sort of place to have a spa or pool, although there's a 24-hour fitness centre and other amenities include free use of bikes and an especially knowledgeable concierge service. Guest rooms enjoy city views and its great location is at the centre of a buzzing nightlife scene, with a host of subway lines nearby to whisk you further afield.
It's great that the hotel is within four blocks walk of seven different subway lines.
The hotel is on the edge of SoHo and Tribeca, close to boutiques, bars and clubs.
By plane: flights to New York take 6 hours 50 mins from London and Edinburgh, and 7 hours 10 mins from Manchester. The hotel is one hour's taxi ride from JFK airport. Private parking from $65 per day. skyscanner.net
Business people, models, musicians and other creatives and especially style-conscious younger couples love this hotel. We really like the grand but homely lobby bar area with its mishmash of sofas in leather or coloured fabrics.
The bar and club areas are full of atmosphere, making them ideal for late night meet-ups.

All the rooms are uniformly characterful, with inspiring touches like interesting wallpaper designs and vintage black and white photographs. We love the skyline views out of big guest room windows.

The dining and drinking options in the hotel are gloriously different. If you close your eyes you could be in Mexico when eating the Huevos Rancheros with tortilla, black beans, sunny eggs, queso fresco, salsa ranchera and crushed avocado at the Soho Diner.
