Soho
Urban micro-hotel with a strong community-hub energy. Design-forward without being precious. Popular with media, tech, and creative types who want downtown roots over midtown polish.
The $35/night Urban Fee is mandatory but packed with value — use the Citi Bike passes, gym access (Gotham Gym is a legit boxing and fitness gym), and 15% F&B discount every day.
Why It Matters
One of NYC's better-executed micro-hotel concepts. Got into Hudson Square early, before the neighborhood became desirable. The food and beverage program — five distinct venues on-site — punches well above what you'd expect at this price point.
Arlo SoHo sits at the edge of Hudson Square in Lower Manhattan — a stretch of the city that barely had an identity before this hotel helped put it on the map. The rooms are deliberately compact (most standard rooms start around 150 sq ft), but the design is smart: solid walnut furniture, glass-enclosed rain showers, automated shades, and under-bed storage that actually works. What keeps guests coming back is the social infrastructure. There's Foxtail, a tucked-away speakeasy-style bar with weekly jazz. Lindens, a proper farm-to-table restaurant with a raw bar and organic wine list. And ART SoHo, a year-round rooftop with Hudson River and Freedom Tower views that draws locals as much as guests.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Arlo Suite
At 350 sq ft, the Arlo Suite is the pied-à-terre upgrade — more than double the standard room size. A separate living room with sofa makes it functional for light entertaining or working without sitting on the bed. Brass finishes, leather furnishings, and curated art give it a proper downtown crash-pad feel. Hudson Street views. 42-inch TV. Sleeps up to 4.
King · 32.5 sqm
Bunk
Stacked twin bunk beds in 155 sq ft — the most budget-friendly option and genuinely fun for the right traveler. Each bunk has its own flat-screen TV. Flip-down desk, pegboard closet, and mini-fridge make the layout surprisingly functional. City or courtyard views depending on the room.
Two Twin Bunk Beds · 14.5 sqm
City King
The standard king option, with sweeping views over SoHo's cast-iron architecture and street life. Neutral palette of whites and grays with warm walnut millwork accents. Compact but thoughtfully fitted — solid walnut furniture, glass-enclosed rain shower, handmade porcelain tiles, and electronically controlled shades and lighting. Sleeps up to 2.
Alcove King · 14 sqmCity Queen
Queen bed version of the standard room with city-facing views. Same smart storage system and design finishes — solid walnut, porcelain tile bath, automated shades. A practical pick for two people who prioritize location over legroom.
Queen · 14 sqmCourtyard King
King room facing the hotel's quieter courtyard — a good pick if you want to avoid street noise. Same design DNA as the City King: walnut millwork, rain shower, smart storage solutions.
KingCourtyard Queen
Queen room overlooking the interior courtyard. Quieter than the street-facing options — a solid choice for light sleepers.
QueenKing Terrace
A king room with a private outdoor terrace — rare in this price bracket in downtown Manhattan. Same interior design as other king rooms, plus actual outdoor space to use.
KingTerrace City Queen
Queen room with a private outdoor terrace and city-facing views. Good for guests who want some outdoor space without upgrading to a full suite.
QueenTerrace Two Twin
The two-twin layout with the added bonus of a private outdoor terrace. One of the better group/friends configurations in the hotel.
Two Twin BedsTwo Twin
Two twin beds in one room — works well for friends traveling together or a parent with a child. Flip-down desk and pegboard closet keep the floor plan functional.
