Fodor's Expert Review citizenM New York Bowery Hotel

189 Bowery, New York, New York, 10002, USA Fodor's Choice

Rising 21 floors into the sky, the citizenM makes an outsized statement that starts at ground level, with the fabulous lobby “living room,” and reaches all the way to its rooftop bar and terrace. The living room has desk space for working, counter and bar space for dining, and couch space for lounging. Upstairs, the chicly minimal guest rooms are all identical: small but with XL king-size beds and huge windows—in fact, they were all prefabricated in Poland and shipped to the US by boat to keep construction prices down.

PROS

  • affordable stylish spot
  • especially appealing for solo travelers
  • enthusiastic service

CONS

  • quite small rooms
  • no upgrades; all rooms are the same
  • iPad-controlled room features can be frustrating
