The NoMad
Designed by Jacques Garcia (La Mamounia, Delano Marrakech, Hotel Costes), the hotel's gorgeous 168 rooms offer wooden floorboards, vintage ocean liner trunks and clawfoot tubs. Oh, and did we mention how much we love that wood-paneled library in the back of the lobby?

The Wythe
If you're on the fence about venturing outside of your Manhattan bubble, let this Williamsburg gem give you the incentive you need. Located on a quiet block next to the East River, this 64-room hotel just oozes the reclaimed-materials, industrial-chic vibe that the hip neighborhood has become known for. Heck, it was even built inside an old textile factory!

The Mark
This classy, uptown joint is where all the celebs stayed when they got evacuated from their plush downtown apartments—and we totally understand why. With an unforgettable black-and-white tiled lobby, Jean-Georges restaurant, and old-fashioned shoe shine kiosk, we kinda wish we had enough dough to visit this place more often!

The Jade
Set to open later this fall, the Jade is sure to make a splash with its French Art Deco-inspired interiors, unbeatable views of lower Manhattan, and quaint, Greenwich Village vibe.

Andaz 5th Avenue
As they say in real estate, it's all about location. And you can't do much better than this upscale, art-filled 184-room beauty located across from Bryant Park. We first fell in love with it two years ago, and the attraction hasn't waned a bit.

The Nolitan
After overcoming a few initial hurdles, we're happy to report this downtown boutique hotel has matured nicely. Rates remain steady, the staff are friendly, and you can't beat those Williamsburg Bridge-facing balconies! .

Conrad New York
Things sure have come a long way for this 463-room waterfront hotel, which used to be an Embassy Suites until Conrad swooped in last year and added some seriously awesome lobby art. Public spaces aside, the all-suite hotel offers great Hudson River views, and in the summer, the Loopy Doopy rooftop bar is the place to be if you wanna get drunk on boozy popsicles.

Crosby Street Hotel
Demi Moore sulks here. The cast of Mad Men likes to party here. Movie geeks get cozy in the screening room. Clearly, the charm of this classic Soho hotel isn't lost on many folks.
Room Rates: $505 a night -

Indigo Brooklyn
With the opening of the Barclays Center in September, the usefulness of this 128-room hotel increased times a hundred. Airy, light-filled rooms with hardwood floors mean you can enjoy that Justin Bieber concert and have a nice, clean place to sleep right around the corner.
Room Rates: $243 a night -

Mondrian Soho
We want to say we're over the bright, peppy, cute-ness of this 270-room Soho hideout. But then again, its cool factor is hard to ignore: between nightlife hotspot Mister H and the sex parties that go on in the rooms, it's clear people are still smitten with this place.
Room Rates: $339 a night
