Ace Hotel New York

The funky boutique hotel group's New York City headquarters is conveniently located a 10-minute walk from Madison Square Garden while remaining away from the chaos of Penn Station. The Ace, a renovated 20th century office building in Midtown Manhattan, has a historic past that is reflected in its retro-modern design. The lobby is a cultural hub, with rows of long wood tables and plush leather couches filled with freelancers working on laptops during the day and travelers imbibing on housemade martinis in the evenings.

The lobby, as well as the rooms, are adorned with hand-picked art and furnished with vintage-inspired furnishings. The hotel's dining options, particularly the April Bloomfield-helmed Breslin Bar and Dining Room, are inspiring and must-try. On site is also a popular hipster hangout, Stumptown coffee, which serves up artisanal concoctions and a trendy oyster bar with killer cocktails. New York’s very own Opening Ceremony also has a post in the hotel, and carries unique designer garb at a high-end price tag.
