The Ace Hotel As New York’s hottest new design hotel, The Ace Hotel arrived on the scene in May 2009 and has been the destination du jour of the hipster crowd ever since. This is the kind of space where you’ll just want to hang out all day (which is in fact what New York’s cool crowd does) - be it for socialising, sleeping, eating, shopping or some high-quality people watching. The heart of the concept is the sprawling lobby scene with soaring high ceilings and lovingly-restored Chesterfield leather lounges.

The Standard Hotel With a chic assortment of boutique hotels already in his hotel portfolio (including The Chateau Marmont, The Mercer and The Raleigh to name a few), jet-set hotelier Andre Blazc has the midas touch when it comes to launching cool, stylish design hotels. The Standard New York is his grandest venture yet, creating a great deal of international buzz (and a few raised eyebrows due to its raunchy marketing tactics) since opening its doors in 2009. The sleek, modern space is cutting-edge cool, with chic retro-style furnishings.
