The three-pearl Broadway Plaza Hotel is a modern boutique property located in the Flatiron District, close to a subway station and within walking distance of several famous attractions. Its 69 clean and stylish rooms were refreshed in early 2016 and offer ample space. Most rooms have Empire State Building views, but they lack coffeemakers and mini-fridges (except suites), plus Wi-Fi incurs a fee (although it's free for direct bookings through the hotel's website). A free continental breakfast and concierge services are among the amenities, but the hotel lacks a restaurant, bar, or a fitness center. Affordable rates make it a solid choice, however. The nearby Ace Hotel NY is a hip boutique with a beautiful restaurant, bar, and fitness center -- but rooms are smaller and rates tend to be a bit higher.

Conveniently located just south of Times Square, the Marriott-owned Moxy NYC is anything but chain hotel fare with its buzzy social vibe and trendy decor. In fact, the upper-middle-range property feels far more Downtown hip than its touristy Midtown surrounds. A bevy of cool common spaces include a funhouse-themed rooftop bar, an upscale seafood brasserie, a sleek lobby bar, loungy co-working spaces, and an egg-centric sandwich shop. There’s even a barber shop (with free cocktails) and a 24-hour gym with seasonal rooftop fitness classes. The Moxy’s 612 rooms are design-savvy but small, and even though they make efficient use of space with foldaway furniture, they can still feel cramped -- plus soundproofing is poor. For larger rooms and a more kid-friendly atmosphere, check out the Shelburne Hotel & Suites.

Opened in late 2007, the futuristic 88-room 6 Columbus is two minutes from Central Park in Midtown West -- a beautiful, convenient, but not so hip location. Sleek style and high-end comforts like 400-count sheets and C.O. Bigelow bath products keep pace with its famed SoHo sister, 60 Thompson, but there's no gym, business center, or celebrities.

Near bars and music venues in the Lower East Side (not SoHo), the 38 clean, stylish guest rooms at the Off-SoHo Suites have either shared or private access to a fully equipped kitchen. It's a fair pick, for the price, but it's rates often near those of fancier hotels on hipper blocks.

Opened in 2000, the lively upscale Hudson Hotel is a hip boutique property in Midtown Manhattan, a four-minute walk to Central Park. While the property underwent extensive renovations to achieve its cool current vibe, it embraces several elements from the original 1929 construction to retain an industrial-chic air, including exposed brick and ductwork. Snug rooms are outfitted with retro-chic decor selected by French designer Philippe Starck, and include high-end amenities. The hotel serves as the flagship location of the cool Umami Burger franchise, and the Library Bar offers a cozy setting for billiards and handcrafted cocktails. Seasonal outdoor spaces include a charming garden area and a 15th-floor rooftop terrace with panoramic city views. There’s a modern gym in the basement, though there’s no pool or spa. The nearby Dream Midtown is a similar alternative, with a two-story rooftop bar and an Italian restaurant -- but doesn't have a pesky urban resort fee.

This health-conscious chain hotel is riddled with wellness-oriented features, including an excellent fitness center with modern machines and in-room fitness zones with exercise balls, yoga mats, and a selection of workout channels. The upper-middle-range property also has a casual eatery that offers various healthy bites and beverages. The 150 guest rooms, though small, are clean and stylish, featuring pleasant contemporary decor and modern conveniences like Keurig machines, mini-fridges, iHome docks, and sleek bathrooms with rainfall showers.

For a nearby alternate with more features, check out the W New York Times Square, which has two restaurants and a bar -- but it's pricier.
