The Tribeca Grand is the sister property to the Soho Grand and when it opened up back in 2000, people were still trying to figure out exactly where Tribeca was located. Today the hotel is one of the city's top boutique hotels but finding the hotel at its strange location on the corner of Walker and Church and Avenue of the Americas and West Broadway hasn't gotten that much easier.

Room Rules
The 203 rooms take a hi-tech approach to the hotel stay with sleek, modern, and minimalist furniture, but as we personally experienced the hotel TVs are broken down chunky boxes. In this instance, the SoHo Grand is the more luxe of the two.

The room sizes are a smidgen bigger, ranging from the 240 sq ft Superior King room to the gigantic Grand Suite & Rooftop Terrace which is totally out of your price league.

Three Day Average
For our selected dates, a Superior King room costs an average $451 a night.

Only in NYC Amenity or Service
Tribeca Grand has the iStudio suite which is full of Apple's latest multimedia technology such as "a fully-loaded G5 computer outfitted with film, photo and sound editing software as well as iSight cameras." So already this suite is a favorite of film-makers, but the Tribeca Grand goes one-step further to appease film auteurs with their very own screening room.

Map-Making Moment
Hands down (or is that pants down?) the Ass Man moment, when a hotel employee delivering an Bose iPod station to Jet Set Lara and her female friend blurted out that he was "an ass man."

Hotel Bar vs. Hotel Restaurant
The Church lounge is a ginormous bar and restaurant area at the front of the hotel that takes on an atrium feel as you can peer up to the room floors. But at night, it sort of reminds us of the alternative future when Biff is the powerful wealthy man in Back to the Future 3 thanks to the railings that line each floor above and the dark lighting. Also, dining there during a fashion week party doesn't help dispel that scary futuristic feeling.

Who you are most likely to see in the lobby:
Fashionistas and Kevin Costner.

Subway Stop:
The A, C, E on Walker St and 6th Avenue or the 1,9 at Franklin Street.
