Soho Grand Hotel

The Soho Grand Hotel, located on the lower east side of the city, is just about a half hour drive from both the LaGuardia airport (LGA) and the JFK airport. This makes it great for those who choose to fly into one of these two airports, but do not want to stay to close to the major attractions of the city.

The Soho Grand Hotel stands 17 stories above the streets of the city and includes 369 guest rooms. The décor within these rooms was inspired by the time period between the late 1800’s and early 1950’s. The rest of the hotel features a rod-iron stairway, 16 ft. windows with a spectacular view of the Soho area, a glass ceiling, and art from local artists around the Soho area, which can also be purchased if you discover a piece that you cannot live without.

Although the Soho Grand Hotel is not within walking distance of most of the city’s major attractions, they are always a short subway or taxi cab ride away. Furthermore, eating is easy in the Soho Grand Hotel, as there is both a bar / lounge and a restaurant to choose from, depending on what kind of setting you are looking for.

Due to the wonderful amenities, the Soho Grand Hotel is an accommodating place to stay for those who want or need to stay on the lower east side. The hotel’s location makes it popular with celebrities and great for anyone who wants to explore the magnificence of the city while staying secluded from the all-night noise usually heard in the major tourist areas. If you don’t feel like traveling anywhere, there are shops and restaurants in the nearby area. So, although you won’t be right in mid-town, there are still places to enjoy yourself within walking distance.
