About

A 6-minute walk from both Madison Square Park and the subway, this quirky, art-focused hotel is also a 15-minute walk from the nightlife of Union Square. Vibrant, individually decorated rooms feature eclectic decor and colorful, original murals from international artists. They all provide free Wi-Fi, and en suite or shared bathrooms. Linens and towels are available on request. The playful lobby is modeled after a Prohibition-era "speakeasy" and showcases evolving art and murals, as do the public corridors.
