The best hotels near Wall Street

As one of New York’s most majestic landmarks, The Beekman immediately entices guests with iconic architecture, including its signature nine-story atrium and pyramidal skylight. Once indoors, old world charm and award-winning restaurants take over; outside the Hudson and East rivers, as well as New York City landmarks like South Street Seaport, One World Trade, and the Brooklyn Bridge are steps away. In other words, classic New York at its finest. 

Thompson Hotels strikes again with this luxury lodge-like hiding place deep in downtown. Reminiscent of a tucked-away country cabin, each detail of Gild Hall is observed with close attention and thoughtful choices, from the split-level library to the ultra-comfy bed linens. Venture out to enjoy local treasures like morning coffee from Blue Spoon or a day of exploration in Battery Park.

A decadent spa session complete with a panoramic view of the New York Harbor and Statue of Liberty? Welcome to the Ritz-Carlton New York, Battery Park. Whether taking in the nearby sites like One World Trade or Circle Line, or pulling the shades to catch some serious Z’s, this hotel leaves no extravagant stone unturned. 

Despite the fact it takes up residency in the former Barclays Bank building, Andaz Wall Street is no office space. As soon as you step foot inside the lobby-lounge, you’re immediately greeted by a laptop carrying host, who after checking you in, will wind you through the ultra-sleek, Rockwell Group–designed hotel. The loft-style rooms take a cue from James Bond with high-tech features like a rotating cube that doubles as closet and mini-bar and a choice between “relaxed” and “work” lighting schemes. The best part? Free snacks and drinks in the lobby all day long.

With just 46 rooms, this building was home to the Lehman Brothers Bank until 1830, when it was converted into the boutique hotel it is today. It maintains its historic charm with an old-school vibe including a sea of antique furniture reminiscent to grandma’s attic. The New York Stock Exchange, Bull Statue and Trinity Church are all within walking distance, and even though Wall Street can be a ghost town post-office hours, neighboring Stone Street is a solid happy hour option. 

A business traveler’s oasis, the World Center Hotel is a 10-minute walk from Battery Park and the Staten Island Ferry. Each of the 20-story building’s contemporary, modernized guest rooms feature plenty of working space; when it’s time to unwind, head upstairs to the hotel’s indoor/outdoor rooftop restaurant, View of the World Terrace Club.

Steps from Federal Hall, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the New York Stock Exchange, this Financial District hotel makes a swanky temporary home for both business and leisure travelers. Contemporary rooms come equipped with all the necessary gadgets from giant HD TVs to iPhone docking stations, and American fare (along with wine, cocktails and craft beers) flow freely at the lobby’s Bailey Pub and Brasserie.

Turn your New York City stay into an observation of history and heroism when you lodge in the Millenium Hilton, directly across from the World Trade Center Memorial and Tribute Center. Inside the modern high-rise hotel, guests are courted with a luxe fitness center, indoor pool, and suites outfitted with high-definition flatscreens, custom-designed beds -- and sweeping city views. 

Four Points boasts a prime Financial District location, wedged between Wall Street, South Street Seaport and Brooklyn Bridge. Rooms are simple but equipped with all the necessities like free water bottled water daily, 24-hour fitness center, and a massive wood desk for those looking to stay in business mode. Make sure to hit the rooftop bar for breathtaking views of Lower Manhattan.
