What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
It’s a welcome bit of candor that prepares you to be pleasantly surprised by how swanky and stylish they are, with their dark wood paneling and warehouse-style windows — and by touches of luxury like Roberts radios, unique artworks, and plush beds.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms
Rooms are wrapped in rich walnut paneling and lit by large warehouse-style windows overlooking the city.
At the table
Rooftop taqueria Tope serves mezcal cocktails around an open fire pit, and cocktail bar 2NW5 hides in the basement.
Decked out in rich walnut paneling, yet drenched in natural light, thanks to large generous windows, each room is filled with ceramics by Clay Factor.
How it began
The hotel revived the 1906 Grove Hotel, a landmark building that sat vacant for decades beside the Chinatown Gateway.
