Fathom Favorites : New York City Hotels

1. The Mark

The Mark

The sophisticated and discreet hotel is a stone's throw from Central Park and Museum Mile. A handsome black-and-white lobby makes for quite an entrance. Art Deco-inspired rooms designed by Jacques Grange are filled with luxurious details (Italian linen by Quagliotti, marble bathrooms, polished nickel fittings by Lefroy Brooks, designer kitchen appliances). The hotel's elegant restaurant is helmed by three Michelin-star Jean-Georges.

2. 1Hotel Central Park

1Hotel Central Park

You can have it all: a do-gooder lifestyle, luxurious surroundings, a respite from the urban hum, aromatherapy, and Central Park as your backyard. Kids and pets are welcome too. The eco-chic hotel has in-room plants, a lobby farmstand, and goodie bags of healthy snacks presented to guests at arrival.

3. SIXTY Soho

SIXTY Soho

A multi-million dollar reno has resulted in an all-new look for the 97-room boutique property. The vibe is modern and sophisticated. Rooms feel residential, well-tailored, and cozy; ten suites have French balconies overlooking the (thankfully) still charming Soho skyline. Local restaurateur John McDonald opened the buzzy Italian restaurant Sessanta and reimagined the rooftop bar as a landscaped high-rise garden.

4. New York Edition

New York Edition

The iconic Clocktower building of 1909 is the new flagship of Edition, the hotel concept from Ian Schrager and Marriott International. The space is airy, sophisticated, and pristine — with silk drapes, Venetian plaster, and a stunning torqued staircase that is a work of art. Cityscape views are spectacular and it's spitting distance from the original Shake Shack (a landmark in its own right).

The Standard East

A 21-floor glass tower means floor-to-ceiling windows and lots of light. Cafe Standard is handsome as all hell and has sidewalk seating on a prime people-watching avenue. The California cuisine and Scandinavian decor at Narcissa are a real treat. You'll be in the center of all the action.

Rooms are tiny, bright, feminine (brass fixtures, marble bathrooms, herringbone wood floors) and reasonably priced. Request rooms on the 11 or 16 line; the 03 line includes bathtubs.
