Soho Grand Hotel

Soho Grand Hotel is an industrial-chic hotel at 310 West Broadway, on the border of SoHo and Tribeca in Lower Manhattan. The cast-iron shopping streets of SoHo, the restaurants and loft-lined blocks of Tribeca, and the galleries and boutiques of Canal Street are all within a short walk. The Canal Street subway station serves the A, C, E, N, Q, R, W, 1, 6 and J trains nearby, giving easy connections uptown and to the Financial District. The hotel opened in the 1990s and is often credited with helping shape the downtown boutique-hotel style, with an aesthetic of exposed metal, glass and warm lighting. Its lobby bar is a popular gathering place for locals as well as guests, and the atmosphere is stylish and social. Rooms have large windows that let in city light, and room types include the Grand Room, Deluxe Room, Loft Suite and Penthouse. Listed amenities include a restaurant, a bar, a fitness center, wifi and a pet-friendly policy. The pet-friendly approach has long been a signature of the hotel, and dogs are a common sight in the lobby. Dining is handled through the on-site restaurant and bar, and the surrounding blocks of SoHo and Tribeca offer a great variety of cafes, bistros and destination restaurants. There is no spa or pool listed, so the property focuses on style, location and nightlife. Service is friendly and informal, appealing to fashion-minded travelers, couples, creative professionals and visitors who want to be near boutique shopping. Nightly rates in the $$$ tier generally run from about $350 to $1,000, with Penthouse and Loft Suite options at the higher end. The neighborhood is busy on weekends, especially near the lobby bar, so light sleepers may prefer higher floors. Airport transfers are straightforward by taxi or car service, and the hotel is a short ride from Penn Station and the Financial District.
