Best Hotels in Financial District, New York City

This hotel in Lower Manhattan offers travelers contemporary, comfortable accommodations with a clean design aesthetic. But that's not the only reason recent guests enjoyed their experience here. The genuinely friendly staff and little details like complimentary wine hour are much appreciated highlights for many visitors. The hotel is also home to the Andaz Kitchen & Bar, plus a beer garden, a major plus, according to discerning foodies. However, recent visitors agree that the greatest assets are the in-room extras, such as 42-inch flat-screen TVs, crisp 300-thread-count linens and complimentary minibars loaded with free snacks. Another bonus: Because of Andaz's Hyatt connection, if you're a Gold Passport holder, you can earn and redeem points for free nights here.

Located in the Financial District on Manhattan's Lower East Side, this Thompson Group hotel offers an eclectic atmosphere found in all of its cozy accommodations. Each room is furnished with 12-foot ceilings with antique brass chandeliers, 55-inch flat-screen TVs, an iPod docking station, designer toiletries and a minibar stocked with deluxe snacks (all amenities recent guests loved). Plus, the in-house Felice Ristorante receives high marks among recent patrons for its superb service and delectable Italian fare. Most previous visitors praised this swanky hotel, citing the impeccable customer service and excellent dining experience at Felice as primary reasons to return. Though a stay here is expensive (especially with the added resort and parking fees) this hotel's location near multiple subway lines makes it an excellent option for tourists new to the city. 

Club Quarters Hotel is all about location. Perched in Lower Manhattan, Club Quarters Hotel, World Trade Center boasts easy access to SoHo, Battery Park, Tribeca, Wall Street and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. These accommodations cater especially to business travelers with their versatile selection of meeting rooms. Meanwhile, inside the Club Living Room, guests can congregate around a cozy fireplace, log on to the complimentary Wi-Fi or relax and read the paper while sipping a cup of coffee. Recent guests highlight the hotel's warm staff, modern facilities and easy accessibility to public transportation, but note it can be hard to get a good night sleep because of the city noise below.

This super swanky member of the W Hotels clan offers guests easy access to Gotham's most-loved downtown attractions, including the Statue of Liberty and Battery Park. Accommodations feature contemporary furnishings and eye-catching red accents, along with a few luxurious accoutrements, such as goose down comforters, signature Bliss spa products, iPod docking stations and flat-screen TVs. Overall, guests enjoy the fanciful, sleek decor of the W New York – Downtown and praise the versatile property features, which range from the modern FIT gym to the W2Go gourmet meal service. However, some complain that the hotel service staff could stand to improve. And though the nightly rates run high, rest assured that if you're a member of the Marriott Bonvoy loyalty program, you may receive extra perks, such as free nights and free upgrades, for choosing to stay here.

Overlooking the 9/11 Memorial from its seat near ground zero in lower Manhattan, the World Center Hotel treats guests to an exceptional location for considerably low prices. The hotel is also a popular pick for business travelers, thanks to its location near the Financial District. For most visitors, it's the hotel's reasonable room rates that turn them into repeat customers, though others commend the property on its extra touches, such as complimentary high-speed internet, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, Keurig coffe makers, free loaner iPads and free bottled water stations on every floor. But in terms of decor, this hotel is fairly nondescript, with guest rooms wearing little more than the occasional pop of blue (most guests don't mind this, however, since they spent most of their time looking out the window). You can also find fantastic views from the rooftop restaurant, the View of the World Terrace Club; previous visitors say that the food is worth tasting, though they wish there were more options to choose from. Another thing travelers said could use some improvement: the staff.

This Financial District hotel sits just one block away from the World Financial Center and just a few blocks the Brooklyn Bridge, making it a convenient home base for both business and leisure travelers. Each of the Hilton's 569 guest rooms and suites feature simplistic decor and signature Hilton amenities, such as large, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers and sumptuous bedding. Some recent guests bemoan the charges for in-room Wi-Fi access ($12.95 a day). On the upside, if you take part in the Hilton Honors rewards program, you are eligible to receive complimentary perks, such as late checkout and personalized room preferences, for choosing to stay here. As far as dining goes, you'll have access to the C&D Lounge as well as the Church & Dey restaurant, not to mention a handful of restaurants and shops just around the corner.

Recent visitors praise this Marriott outpost for its Financial District location, removed from midtown's chaos. However, others see this as a shortcoming, since taxi rides to and from midtown Manhattan can add up quickly. Still, this Marriott is a particular favorite among business travelers, thanks to its full-service business center, ample meeting space and 24-hour fitness center. Plus, this hotel boasts the casual Bill's Bar & Burger, which is known for its loaded burgers, fries and shakes. And as far as bedding down goes, you'll have access to clean, quiet accommodations, complete with crisp 300-thread-count linens, flat-screen TVs and minifridges. If you participate in the Marriott Bonvoy program, you can also rest assured that you may earn and redeem points by choosing to stay here.

Rooms in this DoubleTree branch are well-kept and modern (albeit on the smaller side according to some recent guests). Previous visitors highlight the hotel as a convenient place for business travelers thanks to the fully equipped fitness center, Antinori Restaurant and Bar and ample business facilities. But those traveling on leisure will be happy to note that the hotel sits less than a block from the subway and is within easy reach of iconic landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Once you're ready to turn in for the day, retreat to your comfortable accommodations, which come furnished with mahogany dressers, spacious work desks and flat-screen TVs. Travelers consistently praise the hotel's ideal location and outstanding service, but there is one glaring drawback: Most visitors say the elevators are painfully slow. But at least there are complimentary cookies in the lobby and if you participate in the Hilton Honors rewards program, you can earn and redeem points here. You'll find this DoubleTree tucked away on Stone Street in the Financial District.

The Financial District's Hotel Eurostars Wall Street is, (surprise, surprise), a European-style boutique. Here, you'll find 53 rooms, including 14 suites, featuring simplistic decor and desirable amenities like flat-screen TVs, crisp linens and fully equipped kitchens. However, some guests complain the accommodations appear a bit tired, and would benefit from a facelift. And though many travelers did note the helpful staff, others bemoaned the minimal property amenities available. Still business travelers say the location, just steps away from Wall Street, makes this hotel a convenient home base, especially with its 24-hour business center.

With its ornate furnishings and contemporary artwork, this downtown New York City hotel ups the style ante in the sophisticated and swanky Tribeca neighborhood it calls home. The Smyth Hotel's decor is rich in chrome-colored accents and quirky design details like ostrich-embossed leather walls and floor-to-ceiling glass-enclosed showers. Apparently the property's designer knows how to please, as guests rave about their experiences in the luxurious accommodations – flat-screen TVs, REN bath amenities and Dean & DeLuca gourmet minibars are just a few of the added touches popular among visitors. And when the minibar is not enough, the hotel's farm-to-table restaurant, Little Park, received high praise from recent guests, though others noted the on-site bar is quite pricey. However, sticking around the property to dine is not necessary when many of New York City's best eateries surround the hotel, which sits on West Broadway between the West Village and the Financial District.
