Nine Orchard
In a grand former bank dating from 1912, this polished hotel in the lively Chinatown area is a 3-minute walk from East Broadway subway station and 7 minutes away by foot from the Tenement Museum.
Featuring high ceilings and original moldings, the stylish, understated rooms provide smart TVs, and custom sound systems with curated playlists. Some have sitting areas. The 1- and 2-bedroom suites add living rooms; upgraded quarters come with furnished terraces and skyline views.
There’s a clubby, marble-clad cocktail bar, and a refined restaurant serving creative cuisine.
