Hotel Diva

Located in the heart of the city's Theater District, just a block from Union Square, the Diva has a dressier look these days, with new deluxe bedding, as well as designer lounges by top local artists. High tech complements the high style: there are CD players and 36in flat-screen TVs in the rooms, while the Little Divas suite for children comes with a loaned iPod Shuffle, a karaoke machine and a costume trunk. It's part of the local Personality Hotels chain, which includes the Hotel Union Square and the Hotel Vertigo.
