FORBES – THE 20 BEST HOTELS IN NEW YORK CITY

The Wall Street Hotel

Housed in the landmark Tontine building, this 180-room property has it all, from oversized suites (up to 800 square feet) to super soft bedding to heated bathroom floors. Design elements throughout are inspired by classic New York residences, from curated libraries to elegant lounges (some rooms even come with fireplaces and oversized soaking tubs with views of the East River). Business travelers will love the convenient location, quite literally on Wall Street, but there is plenty for leisure travelers to soak up as well, such as easy access to Battery Park, the Statue of Liberty, the Seaport District and many restaurants and bars (bustling Stone Street, with bars a plenty, is a stone’s throw away from the hotel entrance). Lounge on Pearl right off the lobby is the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee while you catch up on emails, but it also comes alive at happy hour, when New Yorkers slink into one of the luxurious banquets and order up a martini to unwind from the day. The on-site La Marchande—a modern take on the traditional French brasserie—is sure to fuel your cravings, and in summertime, a visit to the property’s lush rooftop oasis, Bar Tontine, is a must.
