This downtown spot offers massages, manicures, ultra luxe linens, free WiFi and a hosted wine hour, not to mention their signature French-inspired, artfully decorated rooms and indulgent suites.
If a flight to Tokyo is out of the question, try instead this eye-popping Japantown hotel decked in J-pop culture, neon colors and cutting edge design--opt for one of the Players' Suites equipped with LCD TV, Playstation 3, Wii, bean bag chairs and anything else your bachelor pad is lacking.
Stay the night at this eco-friendly "green" hotel near the gates of Chinatown and relax in the soft colors and natural wood finishes of each room, but don't forget to dine at the property's popular organic eatery, Roots.
For those looking to be removed a bit more from the hustle and bustle of Union Square, this contemporary hotel is just a few blocks away and a few stories up; with plush beds and upscale restaurant Cortez just downstairs, you hardly have to leave.
Glitterati gravitate to this glitzy Theatre District property to eat, drink and sleep fabulously--but it's not so absolutely outrageous in price that it's out of the question for a special night out for the rest of us.
