The Greenwich Hotel
377 Greenwich St., New York, New York, 10013, USA
Why We Like It
Although the Greenwich Hotel opened in 2008, it feels like a true New York mainstay. From the warm welcome at check-in and the eclectic interiors, to the relaxed atmosphere of the private guest spaces, it has the intimate, lived-in feel of a posh private residence. No wonder celebrities (including TriBeCa local Taylor Swift) love it here.
Fodor's Expert Review
Surrounded by the trendy lofts and cobblestone streets of TriBeCa, this Robert De Niro-backed boutique hotel contains 86 rooms and suites – including two duplexes and a sprawling penthouse – each one with its own unique character and decor. An excellent Japan-inspired spa, serene underground pool, private dining areas for guests, faultless service, and delightful in-room amenities make The Greenwich Hotel one of NYC’s most quietly luxurious stays.
PROS
- Distinctive and unique decor in each room
- One of the city’s best spas

CONS
- Some rooms are overlooked

Room
Adorned with global artifacts, a handwoven rug, and books on Confucius and American art, suites can feel like the apartment of a quirky, well-traveled New York intellectual. The lived-in vibe makes it a cozy space to spend time in, whether lounging on the worn-in leather sofa or tackling a work project at the writing desk. Snacks and drinks are all free (alcohol will incur a charge), and you'll love the turndown service touches, including a pair of soft slippers tied up with a ribbon and a eucalyptus pillow spray on the bedside table. Just remember to close the curtains before you get undressed; in typical NYC style, rooms facing the courtyard are overlooked by neighboring buildings.
Bathroom
The elegant marble bathrooms at The Greenwich Hotel should be considered amenities in their own right. The huge bathtub miraculously fills in 60 seconds flat (there’s a sign warning you not to get distracted in case it overflows), the toilet stall has a bidet (how European), and there’s even a two-person sauna! You'll also appreciate the thoughtful toiletries, including a bedtime balm, a natural sponge, and a little dish full of bath salts.
Lobby
The Greenwich Hotel’s lobby is quiet and lowkey – more of a waiting area than a standalone venue. If you do decide to station yourself there, you can bring drinks across from the hotel’s guests-only lounge, the Drawing Room, which is located opposite.
Pool
Lit by lanterns and framed by wooden beams, this heated indoor pool is worth packing your swimsuit for. It’s open daily from 7 am - 9 pm, and children over the age of four are welcome between the hours of 7 am and 10 am.
Spa
The smell of incense hits you as the elevator doors open, setting the mood for this softly lit, tranquil floor (where you’ll also find the pool and gym). Shibui spa is one of the city’s best places to unwind, offering Japanese-style treatments that book up weeks in advance. The most popular massages are the Shibui Signature, a customized deep tissue, and the Ashiatsu, a barefoot technique where the therapist supports themselves using parallel bars above the massage table. The Onsen Rituals, inspired by traditional Japanese bathhouses, are also worth a splurge.
Gym
The gym here is fairly small and can get crowded at peak times. For cardio, it has Peloton bikes, treadmills, and stairmasters. For strength, a few machines and a rack of dumbbells will get the job done. There are no classes, but the hotel can arrange for private pilates, yoga, or personal training sessions on request.
Dining
There are two dining options at the Greenwich Hotel: the Drawing Room, a cozy lounge with squishy couches and a wood-burning fireplace; or Locanda Verde, a busy bistro helmed by award-winning Chef Andrew Carmellini. The Italian menu features satiating crowdpleasers like “My Grandmother’s Raviolli,” and the atmosphere is elevated enough to attract a whole range of diners, from couples to families to business types stopping by for after-work cocktails.
Drinking
The courtyard is the best place for a drink – if the weather cooperates. Tall palms, ferns, and climbing ivy create a natural canopy and sense of privacy in this guests-only space. It feels extra romantic by candlelight.
