Bryant Park Hotel

Bryant Park Hotel

3 out of 5 stars

Upon walking in the Bryant Park Hotel, you just feel the need to close a deal. The old school New York vibe that permeates throughout the entire lobby may have something to do with it. There’s also the Gothic-themed Cellar Bar and swanky Japanese restaurant Koi. Or perhaps it’s the boardroom suite with a massive cherry wood conference table that looks like it belongs to Gordon Gekko that really clinches it.

Loews Regency Hotel New York

But the real reason it cracked this list is the famous Loews Power Breakfast. This relic of the 70s is straight out of the Wolf of Wall Street; it’s quite possible you’re eating an Eggs Benedict next to some of the biggest heavy hitters in the corporate world. Get your elevator pitch ready.

And given the hotel’s prime Times Square location, catching a Broadway show during your downtime can be accomplished in a matter of blocks.

East Village Hotel

East Village Hotel

Situated above local coffee joint, The Bean, the East Village Hotel is reminiscent of a studio apartment—exposed brick and walk-up charm included.

Pillow top mattresses and large windows add the extra bit of comfort needed to create a homey vibe in this studio-like setting.
