The renaissance of the Bowery continues with the opening of this fanciful boutique hotel, which garnered a glowing profile in Vanity Fair magazine. Rooms conjure an Old-World feeling with aged oriental rugs, wood-beamed ceilings and a dash of cast iron here and there. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer stunning views of the neighborhood. The buzz will no doubt keep scene-seekers lining up to eat, drink and sleep here. If you’re lucky enough to pop in during a lull, cozy up by the fire in the wood-paneled lobby. Rooms: 135. Bars (2). High-speed wireless Internet (free). Restaurant.
