The Greenwich Hotel, New York
More photosThe Greenwich Hotel, spearheaded by Robert De Niro, is a masterclass in artisanal design located in the heart of Tribeca. Opened in 2008, the property feels less like a hotel and more like a private, curated residence. The interiors are a testament to global craftsmanship, featuring everything from reclaimed Civil War-era wood beams to terracotta floors inspired by 14th-century Italian palazzos.
What truly sets this hotel apart is its dedication to unique, handcrafted details. No two rooms are alike, each featuring distinct cultural touches like Tibetan silk rugs or hand-laid Moroccan tiles. The hotel’s famous Shibui Spa is a tranquil sanctuary built around a 250-year-old Japanese farmhouse, which was meticulously disassembled and transported to New York, then reconstructed using ancient techniques without a single nail.
The hotel’s ground-floor restaurant, Locanda Verde, has become a local institution. Its rustic charm is complemented by quirky details, such as a ceiling made from 90,000 corks and a bar top crafted from 400-million-year-old Goshen stone. These elements create an atmosphere of effortless, understated luxury that draws visitors who want to experience the city like true Tribeca residents.
Positioned perfectly between the bustling Financial District and the trendy boutiques of SoHo, the location is ideal for exploring downtown Manhattan. Guests are just a short walk from the scenic Hudson River Park and the iconic streets of Greenwich Village, where legendary jazz clubs and historic sites like the Stonewall National Monument offer a deep dive into New York’s cultural soul.
Expert reviews
“In an era of the ever-more-exclusive members’ club luring the black-card-carrying wolf pack, Robert De Niro’s hotel makes privacy feel refreshingly effortless. It creates the sensation of stepping into the actor’s own salon.”
“The Greenwich Hotel commands the cobbled corner of Greenwich and North Monroe streets in New York City’s charmed Tribeca neighborhood. Just one block from the Hudson River Greenway, its red brick facade rests among buzzing restaurants and boutiques just below Soho.”

The Lowell Hotel, located on Manhattan's East 63rd Street, is a legendary Upper East Side sanctuary. Originally built in 1927 by architect Henry S.

CN Traveler + 2 more“The Lowell, on the Upper East Side, reopened in 2017 after a three-year renovation. Its 74 rooms got a refresh, but the important touches stayed the same: wood-burning fireplaces, grisaille wallpaper in the lobby, tasseled key fobs.”
