This Manhattan private club and hotel perfects the age-old formula: go to New York and make it big. It's luxury and fun with a New York state of mind.
EXPERIENCE
In typical New York fashion, Soho House New York is all about making the most of it. They've packed the six-floor hotel with as much entertainment and variety as space would allow, then balanced a year-round swimming pool on top. The 24 guest rooms have various floorplans, from the 325 sq. ft. "playpen" to the palatial 950 sq. ft. "playground" suites offering three different bed designs. More NYC space magic: your bathtub is in your bedroom.
Manhattan's Soho House New York enjoys its reputation for serving a hip, chic clientele. Who knows whose shoulders you'll brush while taking in a movie at the fourth-floor screening room, or who might sidle up next to you for a cocktail at the sixth-floor bar? The Cowshed spa also offers "Pretty Parties," a group package for 8-10 people to primp, relax, and dine in style. It's great preparation for taking on the world-class shopping in the surrounding Meatpacking District.
Remember to take the infamous New York traffic into account when planning your trip. Traveling the route from the La Guardia Airport to the hotel can take anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, while JFK's ranges from 30 minutes to one hour and 20 minutes. Newark Airport, in neighboring New Jersey, is your closest bet at about 20 minutes away (or around 45 minutes in traffic).
