Whether you’re a native New Yorker looking for a fresh local hotspot, or an out-of-towner searching for the perfect hotel that doesn’t break the bank, it is hard to go past the Mondrian SoHo. Nestled at the bottom of Crosby Street, this quirky yet contemporary boutique hotel is home to 270 polished guest rooms above the trendy lobby, as well as a modern Italian inspired restaurant and bar. The surrounding neighborhood is filled with pricey designer boutiques, multi-million dollar homes and famous New York institutions such as Balthazar.
Contrary to its quaint and leafy facade, the Mondrian SoHo truly is a lower Manhattan hotspot, frequented by the likes of A list stars including Olivia Palermo and Megan Fox. The Isola Trattoria & Crudo Bar attract crowds of locals who enjoy a specialty food menu and extensive drinks list in the hotel’s 5,000 square foot greenhouse space, echoing Florence’s Bobboli Gardens.

Owned and operated by the Morgans Hotel Group, the first New York outpost of the Mondrian offers a range of beautifully finished rooms and suites. Floor to ceiling windows frame sweeping city skylines and river views from higher floors, spectacularly capturing the city in every light. Rooms are stylish and comfortable, offering a fantastic range of amenities to ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible. The refreshing blue and white palette gives guest rooms a sleek and contemporary feel, while subtle fixtures and decorations maintain a sense of classic charm.

A hidden gem, the Mondrian SoHo is the perfect combination of comfort and class, all at a reasonable price point. So next time you’re organising Friday night drinks or recommending a hotel to someone coming from out-of-town, Mondrian is the word!
Room tip: treat yourself and upgrade to a deluxe room for additional square footage – it makes a difference!
