including NoHo & NoLita
One of New York's last wild neighborhoods to be tamed, the Lower East Side is at the heart of NYC's punk and indie music history, and has been home to generations of artists as well. It's also got some of Manhattan's finest nightlife, and its boutique hotels are tailored to a young, thrill-seeking audience.

Noho
The Bowery Hotel — the name alone pretty much sums it up. The first and only high-design boutique hotel on this one-time skid row is the younger sister to the Maritime, over in the Meatpacking District, and is thus as clear evidence as any that this little strip, bordering on the East Village and the still slightly rough-edged Lower East Side, has officially gentrified. Downtown purists can fret all they like, but the realists among us have learned to sit back and enjoy the ride. After all, we come not to bury CBGB, but to praise the Bowery. More...

Lower East Side
The Ludlow's lineage is especially apparent in the ways in which it resembles the Bowery: the rooms are open and bright, with sun streaming through large casement windows, and the impeccable vintage styling feels historically rooted yet freshly finished. As a social center the Ludlow is just getting started — Dirty French, a fairly self-explanatory restaurant from the Major Food Group, another well-regarded local outfit, opened in September, and the lobby lounge, with its promised trellis garden, is sure to make a few nightlife lists.

Lower East Side
It's an incongruous sight, this sleek glass tower sprouting above its low-slung brick neighbors, but you can't argue with the results — the views from the rooms, even on the middling floors, are extraordinary, taking in the Financial District, the downtown bridges, even the Midtown towers, depending on your room's orientation. And the rooms themselves reflect the neighborhood's jaunty, youthful tempo, with au courant accessories such as flat-screen televisions, iHome stereos, on-demand movies and complimentary wi-fi, along with low-tech charms like Frette linens and robes and, in many rooms, private balconies from which to take in the jaw-dropping views.

Nolita
There's more than a whiff of classic, elegant Manhattan modernism about the place, along with an appropriately deep vein of downtown funk, which makes sense, as the architects are the same partnership responsible for the Hotel on Rivington. Very few New York boutique hotel rooms can count sheer acreage among their strengths. The Nolitan's rooms make the most of their space with simple floor plans, including wide-open bathrooms. It's a crisp, clean look, with a focused palette and a bit of hardwood and raw concrete for some textural contrast, furnished with mid-century desk chairs and high-end contemporary pieces. More...
