The Roxy Hotel Tribeca

Sister hotel to the SoHo Grand two blocks away. Some people say the Tribeca Grand is more hip, more laid back, cooler. Maybe. But both hotels emit the same kind of vibe. Music industry and fashion people come, setting the tone. A small cinema in-house is often used for pre-release screenings. And there is a lot of live music in the public rooms. The Grand’s fine atrium is the scene for a fabulous New Year’s Eve party. Parts of the hotel can be noisy (top floor near the lift machinery or lower floors near the bars) but the staff are well-trained and eager to help you enjoy your stay. This is downtown Manhattan as it ought to be.
