The Bowery Hotel Review

A stay at the Bowery centers on the lobby, stocked with newspapers for guests, old-world dark wood, and leather chairs. It's an English hunting lodge in Manhattan, warmed by rich floor-to-ceiling tapestries, fireplaces, and chandeliers—the only thing missing is a trusty hound, and there's certainly no shortage of British, who flock to the property. The mood created by the attractive red-coated doormen, the clubby bar, and trendy address makes this one of the hottest hotels—or lobbies, at least—of the moment. Sadly, rooms upstairs don't maintain the richness of the lobby—they're on the minimalist side, with big console desks and old-school windows the only grand flourishes.

Bowery Hot Spot
A lonely outpost on the Bowery when it opened a few years ago, the Bowery Hotel is now smack dab in the middle of some of the East Village's best nightlife. The after-hours theme continues inside, where the hotel mimics the feel of an English gentleman's club with leather couches and a roaring (if faux) fireplace. But instead of ascot-clad gentlemen, you'll find stylish young jetsetters traipsing through the Bowery's lounge and outdoor patio bar. Gemma, the expansive and cozy Italian restaurant that's part of the hotel, completes the Bowery's insular, yet cushy vibe.
