USA, New York City, Room in Soho



Indian Summer, fortunately there is an upside of summer being over...

And where better celebrating Autumn than in NYC. Although NYC is an every season great-to-be-never-want-to-leave-definitively-will-come-back-place Central Park is so absolutely stunning in Autumn that it's my favourite NYC-trip time of the year.

If you are planning to go there you can of course find plenty of fantastic hotels, but if you want to have a real unique experience check out Room in Soho. 200% ChocolateOnYourPillow: stay in a Soho loft, sleep in an art gallery, feel like NY incrowd. This Bed & Breakfast address is the home of Canadian/French artists couple Michelle and Albert. They own 2 amazing floors in a typical industrial loft in downtown Soho (Lafayette street / Grand street).


We stayed in one of the bedrooms on the 7th floor in the art gallery with a private bathroom and a bar style kitchen. There are also 2 rooms on the 5the floor where Michelle and Albert work and live, but you can imagine the absolute charm is to wake up in ´your Soho loft´ with stunning city view and make yourself a coffee at the bar in the art gallery. So go for the 7th floor!

The rooms are  simple, but charming and are (as can be expected) creatively styled. If you look for a real 4-5 star hotel service level, find yourself a great hotel, but if you like to meet interesting people and would not bother ending up at a cocktail party that the owners spontaneously organise for their friends... it´s one of those places you will never forget. http://www.tripadvisor.nl/Hotel_Review-g60763-d783941-Reviews-Room_in_Soho_Loft-New_York_City_New_York.html
