This hotel’s striking red brick exterior stands out among the many gray façades of Park Avenue, taking up residence on the corner of 26th and Park, in the heart of the trendy NoMad neighborhood.

The 72 guest rooms here have high ceilings, giving them a spacious feel, antique-rose velveteen upholstered chairs and ottomans, and Egyptian cotton sheets.

With its central location in the middle of Manhattan, this hotel is ideal for business travelers and tourists alike.

If you stay out until the wee hours of the morning, no worries, there are 24-hour refreshments in the Grand Lobby for your convenience—after all, this is the city that never sleeps. Book the Suite Escape package to score 25% off suites and a chilled bottle of Prosecco on arrival when you stay four nights or more.

There's plenty to do here, from a cinema room to a spa with seasonal treatments to multiple food & beverage options. Particularly noteworthy is Lyaness, the flagship bar from Ryan Chetiyawardana AKA Mr Lyan, which serves a delightful Sri Lankan take on afternoon tea.
