With its distinctive New York edge and rooms priced for a budget, The Gershwin Hotel is an ideal choice for younger travelers who value style and convenience. Situated in Manhattan's picturesque Flatiron District, this bohemian hotel is housed in a red-brick building adorned with large translucent sculptures. Inside, guests are greeted by the funky lobby furniture and colorful pop and post-modern art.

The Gershwin Hotel takes its name from the famed American composer who got his start a block away at Tin Pan Alley--home to pop-music publishers during the 1930s and 1940s. The surrounding neighborhood not only includes the iconic Flatiron Building, but is filled with some of the city's most impressive architecture. One block south of the Gershwin, leafy Madison Square Park is bordered by the gold-crowned New York Life Building, completed in 1928, and the Metropolitan Life Tower, the world's tallest building when it was completed in 1909. The park is also home to celebrity chef Danny Meyer's first Shake Shack stand, a local favorite. Two subway stations less than 5 minutes from the hotel provide direct trains to popular Lower Manhattan neighborhoods like Greenwich Village and Chinatown. Times Square and Broadway theaters are about a 20-minute walk, or you can take a short subway ride directly into Midtown.

Before heading out, stop by Birch Coffee, next to the lobby. Here you'll find a selection of Rainforest Alliance and bird-friendly coffees and teas. This is also a great place to grab a lunchtime sandwich with a glass of organic wine or beer. On selected evenings throughout the year, the Gershwin presents special events, including quirky plays, up-and-coming musicians, and silent movies with live piano accompaniment (surcharge for some events).

When you're ready to call it a night (or morning), you'll return to a room with a modern style, but that's also warm and inviting. All rooms have hardwood floors and are decorated with pop-art prints that aren't your run-of-the-mill motel landscapes. If you're on a budget, choose a spacious bunk room with beautiful bay windows. Stay in touch with complimentary wireless Internet access, available throughout the hotel.

Washington Square, surrounded by NYU, divides the Villages. On one side, Greenwich and West villages lure writers and artists with its bohemian ethos, best experienced at a coffeehouse or jazz bar. The other side—the ethnically mixed East Village—is known for live music. For its string of nightclubs, Chelsea’s West 27th Street is known as Club Row. Chelsea is also the city’s main gay neighborhood.

Birch Coffee - Adjacent to the lobby, this café specializes in premium, sustainably farmed coffees and teas. The menu also includes baked goods, sandwiches, and fresh salads, as well as organic wines and beers.
