PRICE:
Frommer's Highly Recommended

This sister to the Soho Grand is set on a triangular plot just south of SoHo; its decidedly retro brick-and-cast-iron exterior blends perfectly with the surrounding neighborhood.

Set along open atrium-facing corridors, the streamlined guest rooms boast generous built-in work space (with a Herman Miller Aeron chair) and state-of-the-art technology. But because the rooms face the atrium, noise levels can be a problem, so each room is equipped with a noise-dulling device. The rooms, however, take a back seat to what's below: a dramatic eight-story atrium lobby, with its soaring proportions consumed by the popular Church Lounge, an upscale lounge and restaurant.
