Fodor's Expert Review Galleria Park Hotel

At the edge of the FiDi and Union Square areas, this boutique hotel manages to be both hip and welcoming, with modern touches on historical bones and smallish guest rooms with all the technological amenities modern travelers require. Guests lounge in the lobby by the hotel’s pièce de résistance, a massive, hand-sculpted art-nouveau fireplace that looks like it leaped out of a fairy tale. The hotel has a garden and jogging track, and original 1911 skylights and abstract artwork contribute to the inviting atmosphere.
