We usually stay uptown but followed the advice of a friend and tried this Tribeca neighborhood gem. We had a junior suite which faced the street, but because it is enveloped with seemingly sound proof bricks, or some other technology that is not apparent, we heard not a blip from the street below. The room itself is casually hip, with every detail seemingly thought through, from the retro style snacks to the super comfy bed; we enjoyed the room almost as much as the public areas. I always admire nice bathrooms with sexy showers! The hotel feels as if it's been plucked out of an Anne Rice novel (or maybe New Orleans) because it has an undercurrent of darkness, with a sexy, verdant, sultry feel to it. There are deep cushioned chairs and couches throughout the lounge, situated perfectly next to "reading" lamps that make everyone's complexion look good. The food at the restaurant was jaw-droppingly delicious. Service was professional but unfussy. The gym is well stocked and great for a workout while traveling. The Tribeca location is awesome too, right next to the River Park, which is a great place to walk or run. We didn't have a glimpse of the famous owner, but we felt like we were in a movie ourselves. I'd go back at the drop of a hat.
