Tribeca is among New York’s most coveted territories and the Smyth encapsulates the neighborhood’s persona flawlessly. It’s low-key and beautifully designed in contemporary fashion, offering a chic hideaway for weary travelers who crave privacy and appreciate both attention to detail and great dining. Natural elements like dark wood and bearskin rugs contrast with the sleek tiled fireplace and modern art on the walls of the lobby. In-room amenities include Nespresso machines, rain showers and flat-screen TVs with Chromecast, in addition to turndown service. Andrew Carmellini brings his signature Italo-American style to the property with Little Park and Evening Bar, both of which are not to be missed.
Neighborhood: You’re might be likely to have a run in with the rich and famous in Tribeca than anywhere else in Manhattan, since celebs like Robert De Niro and Jennifer Lawrence live in the nabe. Prices might be higher down here, but it’s still a prime location for shopping and dining.
