On the Bowery near the New Museum and Nolita, this compact hotel offers a stylish lobby and rooftop bar. Room lighting is controlled by a tablet.
citizenM New York Bowery is at 189 Bowery on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York City, United States, across from the New Museum and at the meeting point of Nolita, Chinatown and the Lower East Side. The Spring Street station on the 6 line and the Bowery station on the J and Z lines are nearby, and the Prince Street and Broadway-Lafayette stations put SoHo and Greenwich Village within a short ride or walk. The surrounding streets contain independent boutiques, galleries, dumpling houses, cocktail bars and live music venues, giving the hotel an energetic downtown setting distinct from the Midtown hotel districts. The property follows the citizenM model of compact, technology-led rooms and a communal lobby in place of a traditional front desk. Guests check in at self-service kiosks and control lighting, blinds, temperature and entertainment from a tablet in the room. Categories include Queen Rooms, King Rooms and Double Bed Rooms, all built around a large bed with a rain shower and large windows, and space is limited compared with conventional hotels. The lobby is styled as a shared living room with art, design books and lounge seating, and the canteen serves breakfast, coffee, snacks and light meals through the day. A rooftop bar offers views across the Lower Manhattan skyline, including the Freedom Tower and the Manhattan Bridge, and is popular for evening drinks. Free wifi and a range of on-demand entertainment are included. The staff, known as ambassadors, work in a casual style, and the hotel suits solo travellers, couples and design-conscious visitors who want to be close to downtown nightlife and dining. Nightly rates typically range from about $180 to $420 depending on the season, and weekends in summer are the most expensive. Bowery is a busy corridor, so light sleepers may prefer upper floors.
