The East Village is one of New York's most dynamic districts and the perfect option to stay for those who want to be surrounded by nightlife and a hip young scene. Once a haven for artists and also the birthplace of punk, the area has kept its alternative roots but, with a little gentrification, there are also a good range of restaurants and bars amidst the grungier (but hip) night venues. During the day, expect to find independent boutiques, vintage stores, and record shops. The best East Village hotels are very reflective of the area with several stylish independent boutiques and converted loft spaces. Our hotel experts have hand selected their favourite, so why not browse through our collection to start planning your next trip?
For a hip stay
Annie Schlechter
- The Bowery Hotel is a hip and delightfully atmospheric hotel in the trendy East Village, with 135 chic-yet-comfortable-loft-style rooms and suites with large windows, and more often than not great views. There’s a vintage-decorated bar and restaurant.
- The Ludlow is a stylish hotel with a touch of the avant garde about it. It’s not small, there are 184 rooms and suites, but all the rooms have great vintage details, like handmade silk rugs and Moroccan lamps. These rooms also have huge casement windows. There’s a bar, a cosy lounge and a French bistro.
- Moxy NYC East Village is a cool boutique stay offering stylish, yet affordable, rooms with epic city views. With the choice of three bars (serving particularly good cocktails) and a noteworthy French restaurant, this is the perfect option for the young and trendy.
