A sleek modern hotel in the heart of Chinatown and steps from the financial district, Hotel 50 Bowery offers elevated views from its Crown Shy Bar & Restaurant on the 21st floor. Rooms feature warm-toned design and thoughtful Asian-influenced accents.
Hotel 50 Bowery rises 21 stories above the historic Bowery strip in Manhattan's Chinatown neighborhood, at the intersection of one of downtown's most storied streets and one of New York City's most dynamic cultural districts. Located at 50 Bowery, the hotel opened in 2017 as the first major full-service hotel in Chinatown and quickly established itself as a sophisticated bridge between the neighborhood's deep Asian-American heritage and contemporary global hospitality expectations.
The hotel's 229 rooms and suites are designed with a warm palette of earthy tones and natural textures, incorporating Asian-influenced accents that nod to the surrounding neighborhood. Floor-to-ceiling windows capitalize on the building's height, and rooms on the upper floors offer compelling views of the Manhattan Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Lower Manhattan skyline. The design sensibility is restrained and carefully considered throughout.
Dining at Hotel 50 Bowery centers on Phing, the hotel's signature restaurant, serving regionally inspired Asian-American cuisine. The rooftop on the 21st floor is among the hotel's most compelling features — a destination bar with striking city views that draws a design-conscious clientele from across Downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn. The open-air rooftop terrace provides views of the Financial District skyline and both suspension bridges.
The hotel's Chinatown location offers guests a profoundly different downtown New York experience than any Midtown address. Within a short walk are the stalls and markets of Chinatown, the restaurants of Little Italy and the Lower East Side, the galleries of Tribeca, and the boutiques of SoHo. The Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges are both walkable. The J, Z, 6, B, and D trains serve the immediate area, providing comprehensive transit access throughout the city.
