The Jane Hotel

The Jane Hotel is a landmark budget hotel at 113 Jane Street in the West Village, beside the Hudson River waterfront. The building has a long history as a lodging for sailors and is remembered for having housed survivors of the Titanic in 1912. It has since been converted into a hotel whose small, ship-style cabins recall its maritime past. Greenwich Village, the Meatpacking District, the Whitney Museum, Hudson River Park and the High Line are all within walking distance, and the 14th Street subway stations serve the A, C, E and L lines. The setting is quiet and residential by day and lively at night, particularly near the ballroom and bar. Room types include the Bunk Cabin, Captain's Cabin, Standard Double and Suite, and the smallest cabins are compact, with narrow layouts and shared bathrooms that keep rates low. Listed amenities include a bar, wifi and a ballroom. The ballroom is a distinctive feature, a grand space that hosts events and gives the hotel a theatrical edge, while the bar serves as a social hub for guests and locals. There is no restaurant, spa or pool listed, so guests typically eat at the many cafes and restaurants of the West Village, which range from casual bakeries to well-known dining rooms. Service is informal and efficient, and the hotel appeals to solo travelers, students, budget-conscious couples and visitors attracted by its history and character. Nightly rates in the $$ tier generally run from about $120 to $350 depending on room type and season. Cabins are small, so those needing space or a private bathroom should check the room category before booking. The neighborhood is an excellent base for walking through the Village, exploring the waterfront and reaching the Meatpacking District's galleries and shops. Airport transfers are easiest by taxi or car service.
