Freehand New York Hotel

If there's one thing that previous guests praise about the Freehand New York, it's the trendy atmosphere. Housed in the former George Washington Hotel, the revamped property offers guests 394 rooms adorned with custom-commissioned murals by Bard College students and alumni. Visitors can choose from suite, king, queen or bunk accommodations, as well as "three's company" rooms with one queen-sized bed and one overhead twin-sized bunk designed for groups of three. The hotel's facility fee includes access to the property's high-speed Wi-Fi, smart TV connectivity and 24-hour gym equipped with Peloton bikes. When hunger strikes, take a seat at Simon & The Whale, which serves breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner and late-night snacks (menu items range from overnight oats to smoked mussels to a variety of pastas). The hotel also offers handcrafted cocktails at its daily happy hour, and the indoor-outdoor Broken Shaker rooftop bar stuns with expansive views of New York City. Even better, the property's convenient location in the Flatiron District puts visitors in walking distance to public transit and attractions like Gramercy Theatre, Madison Square Park and the Empire State Building.
