Freehand New York  

In Manhattan's Flatiron District, a boutique hotel tucked into a historic building. It's a short walk to 5th Avenue and the Empire State Building, and close to Madison Square Garden and NYU. Pet-friendly and family-friendly base for exploring downtown Manhattan.

The vibe is artful and slightly vintage-meets-modern, with custom-commissioned artwork by local college students throughout. Rooms come with comfortable bedding, air conditioning, TVs, mini-bars and private bathrooms stocked with designer toiletries and hair dryers. Simple, creative design keeps the focus on neighborhood energy.

Three bars and a nightclub keep the nights lively. There's an on-site restaurant, a coffee shop, a shared kitchen, a 24-hour fitness center and a kids' playroom. Free Wi‑Fi runs throughout. On-site services include a concierge, 24-hour front desk, laundry/dry cleaning, ATM, elevator and accessible facilities. Pets are welcome.

Meeting and conference space available, plus in-room desks and complimentary high-speed internet. Multilingual staff and wedding services round out practical needs for work or events.

Stop by the on-site seafood-focused restaurant for lunch, dinner or weekend brunch. Grab coffee and snacks at the cafe, or pick up to-go breakfasts (available daily for a fee). Three bars and lounges offer casual drinks and late-night bites.
