"Neighborhood: Gramercy ParkPrice: From $195 per night There are few hotels in New York City whose interior design is as effortlessly cool and photogenic as that of The Freehand. But, considering it’s the work of famed design house Roman and Williams, it’s also no surprise. Apart from its good looks, however, there’s so much to love at this hotel. Rooftop bar Broken Shaker is one of the city’s premier rooftop watering holes, while on-site restaurant Comodo’s Latin American food proved to be one of the biggest hits of recent years. And similar to the hotel’s public spaces design, the rooms here also have a lot of whimsy. Guests can choose from petite spaces meant for just one person, lively Quad rooms with two bunk beds, or even suites with separate living rooms." - Juliet Izon
