The | Bryant Park Hotel

This Midtown Manhattan boutique hotel occupies the splendidly restored American Radiator Building, completed in 1924. The gothic-inspired tower, with its black-brick exterior accented with gold terracotta, was the subject of the Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1927 painting Radiator Building—Night, New York. The lobby, by contrast, is completely up-to-the-moment, with lipstick-red furnishings, glossy black marble, a customized music mix, and elevators bathed in red light. The Bryant Park Hotel is popular with trendsetting travelers, including boldface names in the fashion, music, and movie industries. Amenity highlights: The hotel’s Koi Restaurant is an inspired choice for modern Japanese cuisine with a New York flair. Stairs illuminated by votive candles lead to the Cellar Bar, a subterranean hotspot with a vaulted brick ceiling, DJ entertainment, delectable cocktails, and a fashionable crowd of young professionals. www.BryantParkHotel.com
