Why People Love It

8.7⭐756 reviews
  • Floor-to-ceiling windows in every room (no bad angles)
  • Seasonal rooftop pool (a rare unicorn in NYC)
  • SoHi rooms offer cinematic views of the Empire State Building

Quick Take: A corporate glass tower that feels like it belongs in Dubai, dropped onto the edge of SoHo's cobblestones.

Reviewed by @Blondyinsider: I stayed in a high-floor suite and the view of One World Trade Center was insane. The floor-to-ceiling windows made the room feel massive and so bright. Waking up to that skyline every morning was the highlight of my trip.

Guest Who Stayed Here Said

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the views and the pool, but many note the furniture is starting to look a bit 'shabby' for the price point.

Reality check

You're paying for the verticality and the pool; the rooms themselves are spacious but showing signs of wear (scuffed walls, dated cabinets).

  • You need a pool in the summer
  • You are a view snob who wants to see the Empire State Building from bed
  • You appreciate a gym with Peloton and Mirror equipment

Cleanliness & Maintenance

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some recent reviews mention missed dust or rushed turnover.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Marble bathrooms are usually sparkling, but watch for grout wear in older units.
  • Maintenance: Furniture is showing its age (scuffs, nicked wood) in standard rooms.
  • Linens & towels: High-quality Frette linens, usually crisp and fresh.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby has a signature scent; rooms are generally neutral but check for mustiness in lower units.

What to pack

  • Earplugs (if you end up on a lower floor)

Room Genie

Best picks

  • SoHi View King (Floors 27-41) for guaranteed skyline views
  • Skyline View rooms for a balance of height and price

Rooms to avoid

  • Hudson Square King on floors 9-15 (often face the street/tunnel entrance)
  • Rooms near the elevator bank (noise bleed)

Room Request Genie – copy & paste

“I am requesting a room on the highest possible floor, specifically facing AWAY from the Holland Tunnel entrance to minimize traffic noise. A SoHi view is preferred if available.”

Insider Tips

  • ✨

    The 'Hudson Square' view often means looking at office buildings; upgrade to 'Skyline' if you care about the view.

  • ✨

    There is a Trader Joe's and a CVS just around the corner for stocking your mini-fridge.

  • ✨

    The lobby bar is a bit sterile; head to the nearby Arlo SoHo or a local spot for better vibes.

5 things to know before you go

  • 💡The elevators can be slow during peak checkout times.

  • 💡The 'resort fee' includes a Citi Bike pass—ask the concierge for the code.

  • 💡The bathrooms have an open-concept layout in some suites (sliding partitions), which can be awkward for friends sharing.

  • 💡You might spot a celebrity in the elevator (it's a known hideout).

  • 💡The minibar prices are astronomical, even for NYC.
