"Set in a former student house and historic city-center hotel right across from the main station and close to museums like Ateneum, Kiasma and Amos Rex, this polished NH property pairs Nordic design and original architectural features (arched and sash windows) across 224 rooms, houses Kupoli (a dome-shaped tower bar with a resident mixologist and panoramic views), and integrates wellness through USVA by Terhen with traditional Finnish and infrared saunas plus a large fitness center; Hansa Cafe Bar and Brasserie is also establishing itself as a local gastronomic hotspot." - Matt Charlton
"A Manhattan hotel favored for solo urban escapes whose lobby features a community table, fireplaces, and live jazz most nights—elements the author highlights as conducive to socializing and enjoying the city solo; also praised for being well situated for seeing Broadway shows alone, where finding a single center orchestra seat was easy." - Katie Jackson Katie Jackson Katie Jackson is a New York City-based writer who covers travel, food, and more.

"A 288-room Midtown property in a 1920s neo-Romanesque building that channels a Mad Men–era midcentury-modern aesthetic throughout public spaces; offerings include the Mad Bar & Lounge with 1950s- and ’60s-inspired cocktails and free weeknight jazz, Italian-accented bar bites from Serafina, and guest-room comforts such as bathrobes, slippers, and in-room espresso machines, plus terrace suites with skyline views." - Jennifer Flowers

"Guests of this restored, 100-year old building are invited to relive 1950’s New York City. The historic hotel offers all the elegance of midcentury style with the comfort of a modern boutique hotel. Old-school radios, televisions, and record players in the lobby and lounges blend seamlessly with avant-garde design and playful decor. You’ll find teal leather couches, old black-and-white photographs of Midtown, and low-light lounges that transport you in time. Linger inside the lobby to skim carefully-selected books like Rock Covers, Film Noir, New Architecture New York, and Soul R&B Funk."
