From London-based Hoxton hoteliers comes this US outpost, right inside the Chinatown Gateway. An airy, Northwestern modernist aesthetic – clean lines, natural materials and mid-century accents – features throughout expansive communal areas and the 119 rooms, ranging in usual Hoxton sizes (Shoebox, Snug, Cozy and Roomy). Standards include breakfast bag delivery, books curated by locals and rip-off-free munchies for purchase at reception.
Head to the rooftop bar-restaurant, Tope, for cocktails, tiny tacos and superlative views of the city. There's also La Neta on the ground floor for more substantial, Mexican-inspired fare, and the nameless, speakeasy-style 'basement bar' serving craft cocktails and seasonal American-Chinese food.
