Moxy Chelsea (8/10)
It is the promise of a secret garden in Midtown, literally the “middle of town”. From the green facade to the lobby, where a florist composes bouquets, this young and relaxed establishment is distinguished by a universe full of flowers. An “Italian-style romance” atmosphere in perfect harmony with the neighborhood, nicknamed “Flower District”, and the establishment’s restaurant (Fierce), with Roman influences. The 349 rooms, bathed in natural light thanks to large bay windows, offer a privileged view of north or south Manhattan. The must: the rooftop on the 35th and last floor, accessible by reservation only, which can boast of being one of the highest in Manhattan.
Moxy NYC Chelsea, 105 West 28th Street, New York, NY 10001. Tel .: +1 212-514-6699.

The Times Square Edition (8,5/10)
There, in the heart of the frenzy of Times Square, all is order and beauty, luxury, calm and pleasure. This new 5-star, designed by Ian Schrager, the founder of the iconic Studio 54 nightclub, transports the traveler in a felted bubble, imprinted with nostalgia for the sulphurous nights of the 1970s. Homage to the past with the Paradise Club, a very high standard cabaret which offers a meticulous show from Thursday to Saturday, on the 7th floor. We almost forget the 452 rooms and suites, located between the 14th and 40th floors. Minimalist and decorated in wood and white tones, they offer a bird’s eye view of Times Square. No wonder this place has become, in a few weeks, the hot spot of the city that never sleeps.
The Times Square Edition, 701 7th Ave, New York, NY 10036. Tel .: +1 212 398 7017.

The Hoxton Williamsburg (7,5/10)
Bohemian and trendy, The Hoxton’s first American address reflects its neighborhood, the only one in Brooklyn to offer a high-end hotel offer. Located just one stop into Manhattan from the nearest subway station, the establishment showcases the area’s industrial past with floor-to-ceiling brickwork and décor inspired by the surrounding old factories. In the 175 rooms (available in cozy or roomy, more spacious), the furniture and wood floors are a nod to the water tanks installed on the roofs of many New York buildings. Don’t miss to watch the event planning organized in the hotel (concerts, conferences, sports lessons, exhibitions …), the ideal opportunity to mingle with local residents who have made the Hoxton one of their favorite places to work, dine and have fun.
The Hoxton Williamsburg, 97 Wythe Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11249. Tel .: +1 718 215 7100.
