"Since opening its doors in 2007, The Bowery Lobby at the Bowery Hotel has remained one of the trendiest places to grab drinks in downtown NYC. Complete with wood-paneled walls, spacious leather armchairs, and a variety of quirky antiques (and taxidermy) scattered about, this dimly lit space offers specialty cocktails, wine, beer, and an excellent selection of whisky. Frequented by hotel guests, celebrities, and locals alike, the bar makes for an excellent date night location, as well as a great place to catch up with friends, especially during cooler weather months, when the bar’s fireplace is alive and thriving. Added bonus: The Bowery Lobby also offers an extensive list of aperitivi and digestivi, and with regards to pricing, the bar’s signature cocktails all clock in under $20 a pop—a steal, with regards to other NYC-based hotel bar offerings." - CNT Editors
"After a long day of chasing supernaturals, tucking in by the crackling lobby fire here is the perfect wind-down." - Nicole Kliest
"One of the first chic and sleek hotels to fling open its doors on the once-derelict, now-fashionable Bowery, this 12-story, 135-room hotel features a comfy couch-and-antique strewn lobby with an enormous fireplace that invites guests to linger — plus a quasi-hidden bar for a quiet cocktail. Rooms are bedecked with Persian rugs, hardwood floors, and soft king-size beds. The in-house restaurant, Gemma, serves up rustic Italian fare." - David Farley
"Usher’s swagger requires a place as stylish and storied as he is. The Bowery Hotel, with its velvet-draped, vintage-inspired interiors, is the perfect blend of luxe and grit—just like Usher’s enduring influence in both music and fashion. It’s a space where the rhythm of the city never sleeps, and with a buzzing nightlife scene to match, it’s the ideal retreat for the man whose sound is as timeless as the hotel’s old-school cool." - Ty Gaskins
"A downtown favorite whose guest book is peppered with eye-popping names (Charli xcx, Bella Hadid, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Keith Richards, Jennifer Lopez), it has served as both a stylish prep location for Met Gala attendees like Diane Kruger and a sleek, discreet after-party locale. While the on-property Italian restaurant Gemma is a classic, I’m partial to an evening cocktail in the lobby, with its crackling fireplace and thick velvet curtains." - Nicole Kliest, Christina Liao
