Housed with a boutique hotel, guests can enjoy the best of both worlds here – hotel luxury and self-catered apartment independence. Inside the apartment itself, you’ve got an eclectic medley of styles, from the exposed pipework painted fire engine red to cute midnight-blue cabinets on hardwood floors. The living room has a wall of windows letting in lots of natural light and is a big space (a bonus in New York) and there's a little side terrace set with a table and chairs for a tipple in the evening. Cook in your own kitchen or enjoy the freshly brewed coffee of the hotel – staying here means you can pick and choose to your heart's content. The area, Greenpoint, is located just north of bustling Williamsburg, offering a peaceful, residential retreat with some of that trendy bar, restaurant and art scene creeping into the streets. And we'll let you in on a secret; some of the best views of the iconic Manhattan skyline can be seen from this corner of New York, and this building’s rooftop terrace takes it all in.
