"This hotel, located just off Washington Square Park on West Eighth Street, long functioned as a lobby spot for meetings and laptop work but had lost some luster; its on-site dining scene is being refreshed by the debut of a buzzy new bistro." - Emma Orlow
"Perfect For: A Fireplace || Comfortable couches. A fireplace. Art on the walls. Now you know." - hillary reinsberg
"A compact, character-filled Greenwich Village property that emphasizes convivial common areas over large guest rooms: the welcoming lobby has a working fireplace and espresso bar, while a cocktail bar and the French-inspired restaurant Margaux (with a sunny solarium) provide social draws; thoughtfully designed rooms and an intimate, downtown sensibility make it a stylish yet unpretentious stay." - Jennifer Flowers
"Walking into the Marlton feels like being transported to the 19th century, where there's little evidence of modern technology, and where guests and locals hang out in the dimly lit, fireplace-warmed lobby, which features lots of dark wood and antique rugs. The beauty of being here is forgetting what era you're in. Rooms are small, but beautiful, and if you feel too cramped, you're right in the middle of Greenwhich Village and all it has to offer. Hotel guests move to the top of the list at the in-house restaurant, Margaux. That's a good thing, as you'll want to try the Amish rotisserie chicken with smashed sweet potato and burnt lemon. Having a glass of wine by the fireplace in the gorgeous lobby is the perfect thing to do on chilly evenings. As is being able to take the elevator right upstairs to the room afterwards." - John Wogan, Nicole Schnitzler, CNT Editors, Sandra Ramani
"In this town there are always bigger, swankier, more luxurious hotels. Personality is the only way out of that arms race. The Marlton is swanky enough, in its Parisian-inspired way, and it’s also realistically priced, so as to make space for a more eclectic clientele. It’s been described as a sort of baby Bowery, and that’s not inaccurate — imagine the Bowery Hotel on a cozier scale with a slightly more residential vibe, and you’re most of the way there." - MICHELIN Guide
