The Cool Kids Guide to Downtown Manhattan Hotels

"It’s impossible to ignore ModernHaus SoHo. With its Bauhaus-esque design, this 18-floor property stands out (and above) the iconic cast-iron structures that define the physical aesthetics of Soho. The owner is a passionate private collector of works by modern artist Alexander Calder, and many of the prints and paintings have made their way into the 114 wood-floored, bigger-than-average rooms and suites here. Views from nearly every room are show-stopping, but even better from the rooftop cocktail bar, Jimmy, where there is also a swimming pool." - David Farley
