Designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning firm Herzog & de Meuron, the stylish hotel located at 215 Chrystie Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The 367-room is a five-star hotel for people on a two-star budget.

It worth every penny. To reduces costs, guests are self-check-in on their mobiles and get into their rooms through the same system. The hotel supplies an online food ordering system, ample USB ports and free fast Wi-Fi.

Celebrity Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten will manage the hotel’s two restaurants, PUBLIC Kitchen and LOUIS. The Michelin-starred chef will serve healthy food via counter service such hot pastrami sandwiches, pizza, spicy Korean chicken and sushi.

Three bars in the hotel. The lobby bar, the Roof, with a view and communal tables, and Diego, a cocktail bar inspired by a private gentleman’s club; weekend barbecues and DJ sets.

 

In the room a marble-topped table, a stool and wood bed platform, built-in reading lights, with a nook for a 50-inch Apple TV. It has hidden outlets and a space-saving built-in sink and closet unit. There’s also a floor-to-ceiling window that makes the room feel larger.

Starting price for a room is about $200 (£155) per night.
