The Manner

A Review of The Manner in Soho, New York City

"Tucked on tree-lined Thompson Street in Soho, this 12-story boutique hotel—opened in late September by the team behind The Standard—offers 97 guest rooms (including 10 suites and a penthouse) and a five-star, intimate atmosphere. Guests are greeted by a well-dressed doorman and a spa-like check-in where fountain sounds and a vaulted ceiling with a cascading crystal chandelier set a calm, refined tone. Interior design fuses 1970s retro with maritime touches—think porthole-style lavatory doors, glossy dark wood, tangerine-hued walls, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, and jewel-toned velvet upholstery—accented by Hannes Peer's signature gold leaf details and elegant light fixtures. Rooms feature earthen brown‑marbled rain showers with Costa Brazil bath essentials, Lenys World Italian slippers, plush towel‑textured robes, and some private balconies overlooking the Empire State Building; a no‑TV policy encourages exploration of the hotel’s dining and drinking venues. Amenities include a rooftop, two restaurants, a bar, room service, free Wi‑Fi, breakfast service, and a 24‑hour front desk; rates start at around $899/night. The property has quickly become a fashion‑forward hotspot after hosting a star‑studded Fashion Week soirée."
