Located in the heart of Times Square, this funky New York hotel is ideal for young travelers with the aim of enjoying as much of what the Big Apple has to offer. With prices exceeding 400 dollars a night at peak season, this might seem to hit hard on the wallet at first glance, but its indoor swimming pool complete with DJ every night, sauna, 24 hour kiosk and its cool avant-garde décor, rendered in a quirky orange and white colour format – makes this hotel worth considering at the very least. Rooms come in a range of sizes, with platform beds, Egyptian cotton bedding and widescreen TVs. If some serious partying is on the agenda, Room Mate Grace offers on-the-house in-house nightclub events every weekend, which attracts something of a younger crowd. Alternatively, the hotel is only a short walk away from Broadway for musical-lovers, the Rockfellar centre for serious shoppers, and Bryant Park so you can (maybe) have a break after everything else.
