The Ludlow

"How did it strike you on arrival?Fitting into its Lower East Side location, the Ludlow feels just cool and just hip enough without overdoing it. There are brick walls, low leather sofas, a roaring fireplace, and plenty of good looking people sipping wine or working away on their laptops. In other words, it perfectly represents its neighborhood. What’s the crowd like?Locals come in to hang out, and visitors tend to deliberately choose it for its location in the heart of the coolest part of downtown. Most importantly: Tell us about your room."Studio" rooms are the lowest category, and despite the snug size, they still have large windows overlooking the buzzing street scene below, wooden four poster beds, velvet chairs, dark wood floors, and beautiful bathrooms with rain showers. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. They got us?A truly fantastic bed. How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. Any of that worth a mention?We had our eye on that handmade Moroccan brass chandelier. Please tell us the bathroom won’t let us down.Small but gorgeous, the bathrooms have white tiled walls, mosaic floors, rain shower, brass fixtures, and delicious, Moroccan rose-smelling bath products from Devotion. We all need some good Wi-Fi. What’s the word on that here?Free, fast Wi-Fi. Anything stand out about other services and features? Whether it’s childcare, gyms, spas, even parking—whatever stuck with you.Although not as buzzy as it was when it opened in 2014, the restaurant, Dirty French, is still a hopping place during dinner and weekend brunch. What was most memorable—or heartbreaking—about your stay?The warmth and coziness of the lobby bar—and, in good weather, the adjacent garden--make them the perfect places to both start the day with a coffee and end it with a glass of wine. Bottom line: worth it, and why?Although the edgy neighborhood is known for its cool grittiness, the rooms are a well-designed sanctuary and a very comfortable place to come home to every night." - John Wogan
