Sophisticated, Friendly & Fun
Staying at The Bowery Hotel was a treat. It was pricey, but I enjoyed my visit immensely and recommend this hotel wholeheartedly. The room was immaculate: clean, bright and welcoming, with lovely views of the East Village. The hotel remains faithful to its period architecture and design, without sacrificing any modern amenities. It was so quiet in the mornings, but in the evenings the absolutely gorgeous main areas were bustling with activity. Every member of the staff I encountered was attentive and very friendly. The location is ideal for exploring the East & West Villages, NoHo, SoHo, etc. The only complaint I had was less than perfect service at adjoining restaurant Gemma: while the food and atmosphere was delightful, I felt rushed to order (brunch). Our waitress hovered, as if waiting for us to finish, but ignored our empty coffee cups. With so many wonderful eateries within a short walk, The Bowery should work a little harder to make Gemma their hotel guests’ dining destination.
