Elegant, Comfortable, Trendy, Awesome Staff
We chose the Eventi Hotel, after searching multiple hotels in our price range for a couple weeks. I found by chance that the Eventi had some availability after reviewing Kimpton hotels in general. We liked the idea of the location of this hotel, because we wanted to spend a lot of time in lower Manhattan on our 5 day trip, as well as doing a few things uptown, including a Broadway show. We were very happy to have chosen this hotel! It has an elegance not expected for a hotel in NYC for this price! It was super duper trendy, and the rooms have amazing bathrooms, and lots of space and great views!!! (Our view in particular was that of the Empire State Building!). The bed was dreamy, I slept like a good sleeping baby! The bar area, and restaurant are situated on the backside of the hotel, and through the back part of the bar restaurant, you look out through a glass wall of windows onto their xtra big screen hanging on the side of another building across the street! Super cool! The wine hour with appetizers daily is something you will not find in NYC period! The staff was always willing to help with recommendations, even though we are the type of people that research in the weeks prior to our trip where to go and what to do, have no fear, being a fly by the seat of your pants type of guest is perfect in this hotel! They make recs fitting to your interest, and make reservations for you, etc. They take care of it all! Since we celebrated our anniversary there in Oct during our stay, they had a bottle of wine and a fruit tray sent to our room the day we checked in! Sweet! Some have mentioned that they don't like this part of town...because it is just shy south of the hub-bub of times square, but I found that great!! We were two short blocks from the subway, and right next door to Macy's Herald Square! I also really loved not being run over by tourists when I walked out the front entrance! There was nothing inconvenient about this location whatsoever...and we wanted to spend lots of time in SOHO...so this was a perfect hotel for us!!! We cannot wait to come back and book the Eventi! Specifically, we loved Patrick, and we also had a great time talking to, and getting recommendations from TJ about restaurants to try in the city. We have suggested good friends stay there this coming weekend, and they have booked the Eventi and cannot wait to go!!! We would suggest it to anyone! you will not be sorry! Oh and PS, the pizzas on the bar menu at the restaurant are excellent! Thin crust, fresh garlic? Is this really a hotel?! Excellent!
