Set in a 1900 building that once housed bohemian icons like Jack Kerouac, this swanky hotel in storied Greenwich Village is 3 minutes' walk from Washington Square Park and its famous arch, and a 5-minute walk from a subway station.

A suite adds a separate living area and a terrace. Breakfast is available. There's a posh Mediterranean restaurant, a polished cocktail bar and a hip cafe.
