11 Of The Best SoHo Hotels For Your 2026 New York Getaway

Spruiked as Downtown Manhattan’s first luxury boutique hotel, Soho Grand Hotel offers eclectic downtown vibes. Its chic, full of art and artifacts, and pays homage to Soho’s rich architectural history. This New York hotel is also home to one of the best cocktail bars in the city, the Grand Bar and Salon where you can perch on an embossed leather bar stool while sipping your Old-Fashioned in style.

Fancy a little shimmy and shake? Later, we suggest heading down to the moodily-lit Club Room where you can watch an array of musical talent take to the stage (while nursing a second cocktail perhaps?) As night falls, the music amps up further as Manhattan’s top DJs spin their stuff.

Prefer to do away with airs and graces and spend your time in a SoHo hotel that feels like the home of a good mate? That’s the energy the peeps at The Manner are going for: it’s tucked away on a tree-lined street and offers 97 rooms which are pretty tempting.

The little things here make a difference. The staff will use your first name (unless you prefer otherwise) and actively encourage you to use theirs too. They ask you to limit the use of cameras and social media in public spaces, and allow you to invite guests (two) to a couple of the onsite eateries if you wish. Another bonus? There’s no need to actually check out here. The staff simply send your bill and look forward to your next stay. Bliss!

Know what this means? You can grab your bestie, head to the Rooftop (if the season allows) and savour that city view with a glass of something lovely while you plan all the fun stuff you’re about to do.

Sitting pretty on a cobbled SoHo street, the Cosby Street Hotel brings a touch of Britishness to your New York stay. The hotel was designed by renowned British interior designer Kit Kemp, who uses eclectic colours and patterns to create a vibe that will remain etched in your memory for years to come.

You're right in the heart of SoHo here, tucked between Prince, Spring and Lafayette Streets, so all the fun stuff is right there at your fingertips. And yet, back at base, there's more laid back spaces to explore. Go grab a drink at The Crosby Bar—it opens onto a shady, ivy-laden terrace and has a seriously eye-catching long bar adorned with vintage 1950s pendant lights. Prepare the Insta account because you're gonna want to get snapping.

How about a SoHo stay where you can have a sneaky little snack at a rooftop bar while taking in some views of the Hudson River? Arlo SoHo has heaps of social spaces where you can chill with the crew, all while being footsteps from the Village. (And it's got a festoon-lit courtyard where you can escape the hustle with a happy hour bevvy too).

It's a boutique New York hotel, with stylish compact rooms that appeal to trendy travellers who want to get out and about. And once you've got those steps in with some city exploration, you can always come back to base and lean into a night of jazz tunes at the on-site Foxtail cocktail bar.

Described as an "urban resort in downdown New York", you can expect Modernhaus SoHo to do things a bit differently. It's got 114 rooms and suites and an interior where you'll find reclaimed wood floors, custom furnishings and one-of-a-kind sculptures and paintings from icons of the past century including KAWS, George Codo, Harland Miller, and Jean Dubuffet.

You get heaps of natural light, thanks to the huge windows in this hotel too—something that's hard to find in the centre of the city. But the star of the show has to be Jimmy, the hotel's iconic rooftop bar, which has one of the very few outdoor pool decks in town.

Danish minimalism meets New York realism at this boutique SoHo hotel. Book a Howard Queen room here and you get "everything you need, and nothing you don't". Inside, expect light oak floors, custom furniture and ceramic wall sculptures by Taiwanese artist Katie Yang. The vibe is simple luxe, with bamboo rugs and woolen bed throws.

Kick back and relax in your very own lounge corner (there's a working area too in case the laptop calls). Later, there are two on-site restaurants to check out: the relaxed La Rubia or the deliciously fancy Le Coucou for the consummate French experience. Fancy a post-dinner cocktail? The hotel has that covered too, thanks to The Blond, it's low-light cocktail bar.

Embrace the art meets industrial vibe with a stay at Hotel Hugo, a place where you'll find raw materials mixed with with Midcentury modern furnishings. Book one of the suites here and you'll find them a bit spesh: think a light-filled space with custom wood floors, a snug sitting area and a sleeping alcove with a comfy king bed.

After you've snoozed off the jet lag, we reckon a trip to the on-site cafe Felix Roasting Co is need for your first coffee. It's got a seasonal patio where you can sit on a jewel-coloured banquette and plan your day. Once you've had your fill of the tourist attractions, it's time to head back to base where a mojito at Hotel Hugo’s Azul On The Rooftop (season depending) is just the thing.

Outdoor pool? Check. On-site spa? Yup that too. What about eateries? There are three to choose from. There, in a nutshell, is the reason that The Dominick is SoHo's only AAA Five Diamond hotel. Check in here and you've got a mix of King rooms, Penthouses and Suites to choose from, all situated perfectly where Hudson Square meets SoHo.

Depending on the season, you might want to toddle up to Terrace on 7 where you'll find the Hawaiian restaurant El Ta'Koy, that outdoor pool and the Sisley Spa where you can treat yourself to one of those Hydrafacials everyone's been talking about. The hotel also has a 24-hour fitness centre if you so need, or you can join a professionally-led group class in the hotel's SoHi space, a sky-high venue on the 46th floor.

Duck under the fairy-lit archway and prepare to be wowed. The design inspiration behind NoMo SoHo was originally the Jean Cocteau Film "La Belle et la Bête" (yep, that's Beauty and the Beast), and it maintains touches of whimsy today.

It's pretty darn leafy for a central NYC stay, with its lovely covered Rose Garden giving a nod to romance amid the hustle and bustle. Prefer to dine inside? Take a seat under one of the stunning chandeliers and prepare to dig into a seasonal American menu at NoMo Kitchen.

There's advantages to having a home in SoHo's tallest building—as Insta-sorthy panoramas come as standard, thanks to the 10ft floor-to-ceiling windows that let that city skyline shine right in.

With its arched windows and giant ticking clock, The Mercer makes something of a statement as it sits boldly among the cobblestones at the corner of SoHo's Mercer and Prince Streets. This grand dame was the area's original five-star stay, offering 73 sunny rooms and suites housed within a landmark Romanesque Revival building.

Tuck into some hearty Italian fare at the moody-hued eatery Sartiano’s. You'll feel like you've been transported to a Tuscan wine cellar, thanks to its exposed brick walls and leather bar seats. Added touches that make this hotel one of the best? The complimentary daily newspaper selection, exclusive access to a private workout room if you need it, and Dyson hairdyers in every room (Yasss!).

Prefer to splurge on shopping rather an an uber exxy SoHo hotel? For easy living at a more palatable price point, Four Points by Sheraton Manhattan Soho Village is well worth a squiz. Importantly, this place sits in the heart of all the action, surrounded by shops, restaurants, nightlife and minutes from the subways, and you get renovated rooms with comfy beds to curl up in once all the fun is done for the day.

Guests here get complimentary access to the fitness centre, and a 12 noon checkout as standard. There's also a full-service restaurant and lounge where you can tuck into breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails.
