"Neighborhood: SoHoPrice: From $245 per night Removed from the tourist-clogged avenues of Broadway and West Broadway, 11 Howard is situated on the far reaches of SoHo; nearly on the border with Tribeca. This southern pocket of the neighborhood retains much of the gritty charm for which SoHo first became notable, but rest assured the aesthetic at the hotel is a more accessible luxury. Think high-ceilinged rooms with light oak floors, marble and brass details in the bathrooms, and Danish-inspired furniture. You’ll also want to make sure you reserve a table at the on-site restaurant Le Coucou for a meal (or two). The French spot, helmed by acclaimed chef Daniel Rose, is one of the best in the city." - Juliet Izon
