Mondrian Soho
When Morgans speaks, we listen. Last February, the hotel timed its grand opening perfectly to coincide with NY Fashion Week, and the celebs still can't get enough of the dreamy, cloud-like decor.
Room Rates: $289 a night -

Dream Downtown
Yes, the cheese-grater finally opened its doors in July, to much fanfare. We liked the mammoth, oudh-scented lobby, and the see-through pool floor.
Room Rates: $266 a night -

Andaz Wall Street
Not even protesters armed with cleaning supplies can keep this luxe hotel at bay. If you happen to stop in, ask for Toni; he's sure to charm.
Room Rates: $500 a night -

Hotel Americano
Enrique Norton's bizarre mesh facade obscures this art-themed new gem in a veil of mystery—here's one hotel that won't be putting on a peep show for visitors of the High Line.
Room Rates: $480 a night -
5
Bowery House
Budget travelers from around the world have been squeezing into the dollhouse-sized "cabins" here since the hotel opened in August. Bike rentals and free WiFi add to the appeal.
Room Rates: $67 a night -

Hyatt 48Lex
When Sierra Leonean dignitaries aren't taking up entire floors, this quiet, classy hotel on Lexington Avenue has tons to offer—the least of which are the restaurant's jelly donut pancakes.
Room Rates: $251 a night -

Cooper Square Hotel
Now that Andre Balazs has taken over this hotel, he plans on converting it into another Standard. Will it be as hot as the original? We'll keep a close eye on this one going into 2012.
Room Rates: $250 a night -

Gansevoort Park
We tend to hear more about the party scene here (rooftop pool parties, anyone?) than the actual rooms themselves. But judging from a recent spate of celebrity guests (Rihanna, Beyonce, Kim K), we know they can't be all bad.
Room Rates: $465 a night -

Ace Hotel
Hipsters are still packing it in to this hotel's lobby scene but with a Michelin-starred restaurant, a Stumptown coffee shop and the John Dory seafood bar, can you blame them? Alas, only paying guests can rent the Google Chromebooks during their stay.
Room Rates: $276 a night -

The Surrey
This is still the prettiest place to be uptown with its elegant room decor, a Daniel Boulud restaurant downstairs and Central Park across the street. But moving on up to the Upper East Side will cost you.
Room Rates: $720 a night
