This duplex apartment sits within a boutique hotel, giving you loft-style independence with the option of swanky communal lounges and a 24/7 concierge to organise restaurant bookings, taxis and local recommendations. Based in Greenpoint, the local area is awash with trendy bars and restaurants with achingly cool Williamsburg just next door. This part of Brooklyn boasts some of the best views of the Manhattan skyline too. In the double-height living room, splashes of orange contrast with midnight-blue walls. Huge, warehouse-style windows are just above living height so there’s a sense of privacy even as the curtains are open and the natural light streams in. It’s a big space with loads of lounging room, and three different desk spaces should you need to get some work done. Both bedrooms are tucked up on the mezzanine level, up a spiral staircase and feature sprawling king-size beds.
