Maritime Hotel

Steve Zissou would feel at home at this nautically themed hotel (the former HQ of the New York Maritime Union), which is outfitted with self-consciously hip details befitting a Wes Anderson film. Standard rooms are modeled on cruise cabins; lined with teak paneling and sporting a single porthole window, they’re small but well appointed (C.O. Bigelow products in the bathroom, a well-curated DVD collection available by phone). The hotel’s busy Italian restaurant, La Bottega, also supplies room service, and the adjoining bar hosts a crowd of models and mortals, who throng the umbrella-lined patio in warmer weather.
