Bowery Hotel, The

Where downtown's pulse quickes and winter light bounces off glass towers, this hotel tucks you into the financial district's beating core. You're practically adjacent to the Stock Exchange, with major banking headquarters as neighbors, while playful detours to South Street Seaport or the creative energy of Greenwich Village, SoHo, Tribeca, Chelsea, Little Italy and Chinatown remain mere minutes away. The dining scene kicks off at San Marino Ristorante, where the kitchen turns out genuine Italian fare. Round-the-clock shopping, a business hub, authentic New York deli room service, attentive concierge staff, laundry and pressing services, plus car arrangements handle the logistics. A full gym sits ready for early morning workouts before the markets open, with equipment that travels to your room if you prefer, and passes to neighborhood fitness spots sweeten the deal. The rooms themselves function like mobile command centers—sleek, loaded with free workstations and supplies, broadband connectivity, and desks that actually give you space to spread out. Cell calls route straight through from your room, while WebTV, CD players, on-demand entertainment, and lending libraries of periodicals keep things varied. Creature comforts range from oversized showers and quality robes to minibars and safes built for laptops. On those long winter evenings when the city turns quiet and crisp outside, you've got everything you need to stay plugged in without leaving your room.
