Ace Hotel New York

Anyone who has visited one of ACE's West Coast residences will attest to the fact that it is a true hipster haven. And at its premier East Coast location, whose early 1900s structure in NoMad was entirely rebuilt by a local design firm, the funky retro-meets-industrial modern ambiance is still present. A sea of laptops are probably occupying the trendy lobby's dark brown sectional couches, enormous wood bar, and comfy reading nooks. The usual furnishings in the rooms are retro-style furniture and graffiti art, while the higher price range includes cool additions like a carefully curated selection of vinyl LPs, acoustic guitars, and mini-kegs.

The headquarters of the hip boutique hotel chain are perfectly located in New York City, away from Penn Station's bustle but only a 10-minute walk from Madison Square Garden. Retro-modern Ace's design pays homage to the historic past of the Midtown Manhattan office skyscraper from the 20th century. The lobby is a centre for culture, with rows of long oak tables and luxurious leather couches packed with travelers sipping house-made martinis in the evenings and freelancers working on their laptops during the day.

Both the lobby and the rooms, which are roomy and furnished in a vintage-inspired style, are covered in hand-selected art. The hotel's culinary selections are delicious and worth trying, notably the Breslin Bar and Dining Room, which is under the direction of April Bloomfield. On-site amenities include a fashionable oyster bar with great cocktails and Stumptown coffee, a well-known hangout for hipsters that sells artisanal drinks. The hotel also houses a location for New York's very own Opening Ceremony, which sells distinctive designer clothing at a premium price.e.
