The Renwick Hotel

This unique boutique hotel is a member of Hilton’s luxurious Curio Collection, and the building once played host to great intellectuals like Steinbeck and F. Scott Fitzgerald. The hotel is just two blocks from Grand Central Station, as well. Its rooms are evocative of its literary past, decorated with easels, paint, writing paper and ink, and amenities like free Wi-Fi and Brooklyn-sourced bath products. Spring for an upgrade and score a room with a balcony. Bedford & Co. is the onsite restaurant serving Argentinian-inspired food. A fitness center and yoga space round out the hotel amenities.
