The Marlton Hotel

Often overlooked in favour of brighter young things, The Marlton Hotel is a historic bolthole situated in the heart of Greenwich Village, across the street from the famed Electric Lady Studios, where artists as diverse as David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, the Soulquarians collective and Lady Gaga have recorded. Its 112 storied rooms, while cosy, are elegantly designed for a peaceful slumber. The luxury hotel boasts a rich artistic heritage, having once housed students for The New School and, before that, hosted Jack Kerouac as he wrote The Subterraneans and Tristessa. Revamped in 2013 by hotelier Sean MacPherson, this hotel is a real ‘if you know, you know’ haunt for those looking for a classy cocktail by a crackling wood-burning fire. It is also a popular co-working spot for roving freelancers. Nearby, one can sample Magnolia Bakery’s delish banana pudding, or visit Marc Jacobs’ book shop, Bookmarc.\nmarltonhotel.com
