Gramercy Park Hotel The stunning hotel has impeccable design and an ever-changing roster of artwork from New York City artists like Andy Warhol and Keith Haring.

you probably recognize The Ludlow from Instagram. It’s home to those black-and-white tile bathrooms—the one guests love to Instagram during their stay. Though the rest of the suite receives less attention, it’s impeccably designed, too. There’s a lot to do in and around the hotel: Enjoy a meal at the acclaimed restaurant, Dirty French, have a cocktail in the vine-covered courtyard, and don’t miss a visit to Katz’s Delicatessen down the road. The iconic pastrami on rye is a must.

It’s hardly surprising that 11 Howard is popular during New York Fashion Week.

And don’t forget to book a session at Higher Dose, the onsite infrared sauna.
