Oh, how we love a hotel opening. Especially one that brightens up our Monday mornings. And today’s the day for the Distrikt Hotel—and its wooden NY-grid mural at the front desk.

We got to poke around at the hotel last week as the finishing touches were being made, and we have to say: we were pleasantly surprised. The rooms look larger in person—and have a simple, comfortable style that should please visitors to New York. (Given its location near Port Authority and Times Square, we don’t expect this to become a magnet for New Yorkers, unless they put their relatives and out-of-town friends up at the hotel.)

There are just five rooms on each floor, which gives it a nice, intimate feeling, and those district-themed murals really pop as you exit the elevator. The neighborhood pride extends to the Distrikt’s restaurant, Collage, which is starting off with light fare this week, most of it sourced locally.

Like what you see as you click through our photo gallery? Good news—the hotel still has availability tonight, with rooms starting at $139.
