Broome

Occupying a handsomely restored, 19th-century building, the Broome feels far more intimate than most NYC hotels. Its 14 rooms are the epitome of simple elegance, each with locally sourced fittings. There's a hidden surprise here, too: a tranquil open-air internal patio with Parisian-style seating for relaxing with a coffee (which is complimentary, as is the farm-to-table breakfast). Service is personable.
