PUBLIC, an Ian Schrager hotel
Great location if you are looking at a SoHo Hotel. It's a digital-native, limited-amenities hotel well suited for a single traveler. The room design gives you work space along with a nicely designed cubby hole bed setting that feels cozy within the clean lines of the room.

Freehand New York
This was a great hotel to stay. The room was fairly large with a king bed (which isn’t usual for NYC). Location was great and staff was super friendly! We also had 2 dogs traveling with us and the facility was great and very dog friendly.
