Directly across from Bryant Park, this Hyatt boutique property is housed in a 1916 limestone-and-brick building with remodeled interiors by designer Tony Chi. Catering to a trend-conscious clientele, the hotel uses handheld tablet computers for check-in, and the lobby is decorated with Carlos Capelán murals and a Nick Hornby sculpture that combines details of various New York landmarks. Designed in a minimalist style, the 184 guestrooms have 12-foot ceilings, all-white walls and bedding, and walk-in showers with porcelain foot baths. The bar serves seasonal cocktails with house-infused liquors, while the Shop restaurant incorporates fresh foods from well-known local merchants.
Room to Book:
If you’re booking a king room, request one that ends in –13; it will be slightly larger than the other king rooms.
Insider Tip:
Guests often complain about dim lighting in the rooms, but the staff has additional lighting on hand for those who request it.
