Row NYC

For most of us, any trip to New York City is welcomed on our travel itinerary. Whether for work, for vacation, or to visit family and friends, what better destination is there? Not surprisingly, nightly hotel rates in Manhattan and Brooklyn are usually at the $250+ price point. Of course, there will be some deals during the year, but when your dates are set, you need to find the best possible option at a fair price.

In preparation for our recent visit, we perused the many hotel options, but with a specific eye toward something of high quality, in a central location, with thoughtful design, and at an ultra-competitive price point.

And so our search led us to Row NYC, located one block west of Times Square at 700 8th Ave, New York, NY 10036.

When you enter Row NYC you are greeted by amazing staff curbside and are ushered into a stylish ground floor entry where you can take a grand, minimalist staircase to the main lobby level

Granted, this might at first seem like a frenetic location, and it is in fact high volume and high activity at all hours. Yet despite this, when you enter Row NYC you are greeted by amazing staff curbside and are ushered into a stylish ground floor entry where you can take a grand, minimalist staircase to the main lobby level, use the dedicated elevator if you have luggage in tow, or decide to pop into Sugar Factory, the café and decadent confectionary, for a caffeine or sugar boost before exploring everything else that Row has to offer

The main lobby is a gorgeous combination of well-chosen interior materials and fun accessories that all flow from one space to the next.

The concierge and front desk area is well designed to handle the high volume of nightly guests.
