The Thompson Hotel

What an amazing hotel. For the price, this is a steal! The rooms are gorgeous, the food and drinks are superb, and on top of that, you get an amazing picturesque view of the atrium from the lobby bar. The moment I walked in, I felt so much history and character from every detail of the hotel; from the architecture and interior, the decor is impeccable.

You might also find yourself stumbling through a door that seems like borderline trespassing, but actually leads you to a secret speakeasy bar! (Hint: follow the cat).

It’s also a quick walk to the World Trade Center, and walking distance from Chinatown as well. I highly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
