The Best Hotels in Greenwich Village, New York

The Marlton

Greenwich Village, or simply ‘The Village’ to fans and locals, is a famous bit of Manhattan known for its arty, bohemian past and for being home to a significant LGBT community. Once a place of artist’s garrets and studios, it has been gentrified, and is now one of the most desirable places to live in New York. Roughly arranged around Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village is pretty much bordered by Broadway and the Hudson River. A large section of the area is considered an Historic District by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, and it is renowned for the numbers of artists who took studios here, and authors who frequented these streets — Robert Louis Stevenson, Mark Twain, Walt Whitman, Anais Nin, Dali, Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol to name a few! It's a neighbourhood crammed with arts and culture with a healthy dollop of jazz and stand-up comedy in the mix. Our pick of the best hotels in Greenwich Village include historic properties and hotels which really won't break the bank!

For a classic hotel

Washington Square Hotel

  • Built in 1902, the Washington Square Hotel is an historic residence turned 150 room hotel. The decor is 1930s Paris chic and the location is perfect, right on the corner of Washington Square Park. Intimate, low key and charming, this was a super hip place to stay in the 60s and 70s and is still friendly and atmospheric. Ask for one of the rooms with a park view.

For great value

The Marlton

  • The Marlton has plenty of style and atmosphere, plus marble bathrooms, parquet floors, oak panelled walls and brass fixtures. It also has a cocktail bar, which is lovely, a very nice French restaurant and an espresso bar! Not forgetting the very reasonable room rates!
  • The Jane is situated in West Village, and is a unique property offering very affordable rooms. Choose between bunk rooms, single cabins or wonderfully retro doubles. 

For 1920s inspired interiors

Walker Hotel

  • The Walker Hotel Greenwich Village is an elegant, 113 room property in the heart of Greenwich Village. The decor and feel are vintage 1920s, with peaceful lighting, luxurious leather chairs, richly coloured fabrics and retro rotary phones. There’s also a Parisian-feeling bar and bistro.
