High Line Hotel
180 10th Ave., at 20th St., , New York, New York 10011, USAWhy We Like It
This boutique hotel preserved the original character of the building and offers a glimpse into New York City history. We love the private interior garden, the quiet coffee bar, and the seasonal cocktail bar patio.
Fodor's Expert Review
A late-19th-century, redbrick, Gothic-style building on the landscaped grounds of a former seminary was transformed into this lovely hotel, full of original architectural details like stained-glass windows and pine floors. Antique typewriters and a carefully chosen collection of books are particularly charming details. Guests are welcome to read the books--but should probably stay off the typewriters.
