Neobaroque playfulness underscores the plush, smallish rooms at this beautiful downtown property, where creamy whites and dreamy blues meet flouncy sconces and marble bathrooms. Upper-level rooms will leave you feeling like you're gazing out at Manhattan from a cloud. Note reception for the hotel is upstairs.
The garden-inspired restaurant, Nomo Kitchen, serves modern Italian flavors under a maelstrom of crystal chandeliers, while the bar sees guests sipping behind a secret bookshelf door.
