The Ludlow Hotel, New York
More photosExpert reviews
“The Ludlow is in the heart of the Lower East Side, one of the city’s most desirable areas for the hip and youthful set. The hotel wins high marks for its neighborhood feel and is a smart choice for travelers looking for an authentic sense of place away from the crowds.”
“One of New York’s best-loved boutique hotels, in the Lower East Side, with a heavy glug of 1970s cool thrown in for good measure. Rooms are comfy and there’s a fun American take on a French bistro, Dirty French, which is popular with locals.”

The location was great, the rooms were clean, the bathrooms in particular were great.
The room itself was slightly on the small side but all hotels in Manhattan are like this

Cosy hotel in a great location
Gorgeous interiors, the room was very comfortable. The bathroom had everything we needed which is ideal when travelling for a long time. The mini bar was well stocked (however was very expensive). Recommend booking a city view room.
It’s New York City so I know noise is unavoidable but the noise from the street very late on the Saturday night did disrupt our sleep.

A fantastic and luxurious hotel, which made our time in New York even more special.
The room was beautifully decorated and the bathroom with deep, large bath tub was amazing! Fantastic views from the windows in the room and from the bath!
We loved everything!

Fabulous location, great staff, great vibe and comfy rooms!
Super location to Soho etc. Fantastic service. Both day and night desk staff extremely friendly and anticipated travel requests. Loved using the rooftop gym which has a spectacular view of the city. Great vibe in main sitting area of hotel. Sheets in the room really soft and there were loads of towels! This is my new go to hotel in NYC. Bye by Mid-town.

Lovely, trendy hotel in a great location
The Ludlow is a fabulous hotel in a great location. We were on the 15th floor and room had an amazing view over the city. The bath was lovely and big and the water was very hot. Loved the dressing gowns and slippers. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. Top tip - book dinner at Dirty French as it’s great!
The living room area was quite dark. Thankfully you could ask for a lamp, which we did and it was so much better. There was also very little wardrobe space to hang up clothes and nowhere to store luggage out of sight.

Lighting in room (Ludlow Loft smaller bedroom with no window). Lovely room but lighting could have been a bit brighter with a mirror in this part of the room. This is a very minor thing though. Rooms were lovely!

We had a fantastic time in NYC. We came with no agenda other than to have fun shop and eat welll. And it was perfect!!
Loved the location. The property itself was beautiful.
Our room was very small but that’s not the fault of anyone. We chose a smaller room. Just not realizing how small it was for two people.

Other New York hotels
Aparthotel The William, New York
CNN“Though each suite has all the amenities that you’d find at home — kitchens, living spaces, work areas, and in some cases, private terraces — their shockingly bright color palette, quirky mid-century furniture and bold abstract art make it a stay you won’t soon forget.”
The High Line Hotel, New York
Frommers + 2 more“Very few NYC hotels deserve the high price tag they wear. This one just may. Its interior is as grand, though delightfully quirky, with rooms that look like they could have been inhabited by a Gatsby type in the 1920s.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in New York.
Freehand Hotel, New York
CN Traveler“Better to book something that’s at least clean, comfortable, and strategically located, and spend the extra cash on that restaurant everyone has been posting about. Freehand takes this compromise and somehow manages to make it feel sexy and stylish. Rooms are basic but brightened up with artworks that sometimes snake across the walls and ceilings.”

CNN + 1 more“If aesthetics are a requisite, The Standard, High Line — situated directly above a stretch of old elevated railway now known as High Line Park — is a best of New York City landmark in Manhattan’s most model-intensive neighborhood.”
