Its fame as the first hotel/apartment complex never really caught on, but Sid Vicious killing his girlfriend in one of the bedrooms did. Ever since then, the Chelsea Hotel has been both infamous and a regular old hotel. Rooms range from those with shared bathrooms to rather plush suites, and the company can’t be beat. The building is still a hangout for creative types, and the odd installation art experiment definitely keeps the interest level high.

This is a no-frills budget hotel located in the old Life magazine building. Beaux Arts touches still grace the interior and exterior, and rooms are small, clean and cheap for the location. The staff is friendly and helpful and can arrange for most business needs to be taken care of within a quick walk from the hotel.

The one-stop spot for visitors in NYC, The Hudson is an enormous affair with upwards of 750 rooms, a private garden for guests only, a 15th floor cocktail lounge with terrace, a curated library/cognac bar and the much-talked-about Hudson Cafeteria by Jeffrey Chodorow. Conference rooms and all the technical gadgetry you’d ever need can be provided on request. A very hip, glass-ceiling disco is also available for those celebrating closing a deal.

For the location, the price can’t be beat. Clean rooms and a bed is about all you get for that low price, however. Ask for a private bath before giving up the credit card, or you may end up sharing one with your floor. Located between Chelsea, the West Village and Union Square, visitors are privy to some of the most desirable neighbourhoods to explore.

A quaint little hotel in a quaint little building in a quaint little location. The WS Hotel is Art Deco all the way, from its Marlene Dietrich posters to its coloured glass mosaics. An excellent location for exploring the West Village and halfway point between business meetings in the Financial District and Midtown. The rooms are a bit snug, but for the price they can’t be beaten.
