I love staying at The Ridge Hotel. It is my favorite hotel due to its location in the best part of NYC the Lower East Side. The art curated inside and out truly makes it special and the rooftop views are awesome. Yeah, you could book a hotel with bigger rooms, but why? You are in NYC! You should only be sleeping in the room. I love cracking the window open at night to hear the sounds of the city. I stayed at this hotel prior to it being an Airbnb. I love it even more now with the remodeled space downstairs. I do miss seeing the friendly faces at the front desk but glad calling by phone was easy to talk to someone.
Stay here and you will be back again! There are so many amazing vegan spots nearby within walking distance. And you can’t beat having a subway stop right outside the door.
