Stylish hotel with hip vibe, plush lobby, and French restaurant











































"The lobby of this Lower East Side One-Key hotel is sprinkled with plush couches, quirky art on the brick walls and a working fireplace, inviting guests — both book-and-laptop wielding locals and guests alike — to stay awhile. That’s not all. The industrial-chic hotel, which attracts a disproportionate clientele from the music and fashion industries, features art from neighborhood galleries in its 175 guest rooms, bathtubs with city views, and colorful Missoni couches in suites. The in-house eatery is the always-packed Dirty French — from the restaurant group that brought you Torrisi and Carbone ." - David Farley

"Known for his art-world sensibility, Rashid Johnson finds inspiration in spaces that have as much character as his work. The Ludlow Hotel is just that—a gritty, artistically charged space that feels more like a loft gallery than a traditional hotel. Its exposed brick and minimalist vibes mirror his own aesthetic, while the ambiance—smelling of palo santo and creativity—offers the perfect environment for a creative mind to unwind. This downtown haunt is where he’ll recharge before diving back into the next project that blends art, culture, and a touch of rebellion." - Ty Gaskins

"A 175-room boutique hotel that blends industrial grit with refined style—handmade silk rugs, Moroccan pendant lamps, and Indo-Portuguese–style beds give rooms a textured, curated feel. The lively lobby regularly displays rotating art and opens onto a hidden garden; the penthouse Rockstar Suite includes a vinyl collection and a 1,100-square-foot terrace with panoramic skyline views. The property also programs intimate live-music sessions in partnership with a major record label, bringing artists into the suite for small performances." - Devorah Lev-Tov
