Crosby Street Hotel
Hotels & Accommodations in SoHo
5 stars | In my opinion, the design hotel “Crosby Street Hotel” is one of the most beautiful hotels in all of New York. Like “The Mercer”, it is located in trendy and exclusive SoHo in the direct vicinity of the Museum of Modern Art Design (MOMA). The area is perfect for going out, shopping and eating!
The 86 rooms and suites are super-stylish. The rooms are large, high, open and bright. The interior – for which Kit Kemp is responsible – offers a wonderful contrast to the loft-like windows, which are huge and reach down to the floor. Everything looks modern, but not without warmth. An absolute design highlight! The Crosby Bar & Terrace offers high standard food at any time of day – the cocktails in particular have a very good reputation.

What makes boutique hotels in NYC so special?
Boutique hotels are known for their individual touch and unique experience. They offer exclusive accommodation with a high level of service and stand out with their exceptional design. The concept, which emerged in the 1980s in major cities such as the UK and the USA, aims to offer guests a cozy, almost familiar atmosphere.
Unlike large hotel chains, which often have hundreds of rooms, boutique hotels offer a more personalized service and a manageable size, allowing for an intimate and luxurious experience.
In addition, they provide access to bespoke information and services tailored to the unique setting, promoting unique experiences that you may not find in larger, standardized hotels.
A stay in a boutique hotel is therefore recommended for those who value unique ambience, personalized service and an experience that cannot be found in a standard hotel. They are ideal for travelers who want to avoid the crowds and instead experience the uniqueness of a place through the eyes of an accommodation that blends seamlessly with the local flair.
