Broadway is just outside the door, but inside the limestone and brick Muse Hotel is a sophisticated and welcome calm.  There’s a long marble wine bar and NIOS restaurant, usually full of stylish guests and New Yorkers. Each room sports a bust of the Greek goddess Thalia, and Surrealism-esque prints decorate the walls. If you call the front desk, they’ll answer with “How can I inspire you?”

Sure, you’re in the city that never sleeps, but you still want to get some shuteye. At the Night Theater District Hotel (not to be confused with the Night Hotel Times Square a few blocks away), sexy black-and-white décor, blackout curtains and comfy, large-for-NYC rooms make it easy to sleep well.

American architect Stanford White, of Washington Square Arch and Madison Square Garden fame, designed this building in 1905 for the prestigious theatrical society The Lambs. Today, the neo-Georgian building is one of the most luxurious New York hotels. It’s gorgeous, with oak-paneled walls, chrome details and an 18th century French fireplace. See and be seen at Geoffrey Zakarian's The Lambs Club, where the art deco vibe matches that of the lobby.

This cozy boutique is an oasis in the center of super-intense Times Square. Inspired by the Moroccan city and the classic film, the Casablanca Hotel is rich with Humphrey Bogart nods and period décor—think blue-and-white tile and rattan furniture.

Once upon a time, the New Yorker magazine was founded right here at this Midtown West landmark. The Harvard and Yale clubs are on the same block, and tuxedo-clad waiters serve guests as they have for more than a century. The old-world appeal is backed up by real literary pedigree—William Faulkner, Maya Angelou and a whole host of famous writers have stayed at The Algonquin. (It can’t hurt to bring your notebook.) There’s an in-house cat named Matilda, an oak-paneled Edwardian lobby and plush leather banquettes at the Blue Bar.

This French Renaissance-style landmark has been through many high profile renovations, including designs by Ian Schrager and Philipe Starck. The last one, by Meyer Davis, includes a gorgeous two-story lobby and a fireplace perfect for cozying up in winter. (The renovation’s price tag came in at $40 million…so no surprise that it’s really, really nice.) Theaters line the street outside and the TKTS booth, where same-day theater tickets are deeply discounted, is just steps away.

Think the Theater District is all full of stodgy tourists? Think again. The party’s always raging at the Room Mate Grace Hotel, where the 24-hour pool and swim-up bar hosts Drip every Wednesday night, a gay pool party full of buff guys and drag queens. Amenities are basic and rooms are small, but the design is playful (gaudy?) and bright, and the disco light beckons. PS: In case you’re wondering about the name, Roommate Grace is an imaginary savvy New Yorker, ready to show guests the big city.
