Arlo Husdon SquareNew York, USA

If you want a hotel with its finger on the pulse of New York, Arlo Hudson Square can hardly be beaten. This all-new property in Lower Manhattan (the namesake neighbourhood is just to the west of Soho) has all the hip style and tech savvy that has kept its city at the cutting edge, with kiosks in lieu of a front desk and pegboards in lieu of hangers in the rooms.

Arlo Hudson Square hotel offers thoughtfully designed micro guest rooms that combine flexible, modern furniture with efficient storage spaces and a range of playful touches. Rooms come with an array of bed types and views (and in some cases, even a large outdoor terrace). Plus, all the amenities you need to make Arlo Hudson Square your home base in the city. You'll also find a smartly designed bathroom with a walk-in shower and Blind Barber bath amenities in every room.

Plus, there’s that exhilarating city outside. Buzzy restaurants, bars and boutiques are within walking distance, whether in Soho – a world-renowned shopping capital – or neighbouring Nolita and Little Italy. South of Hudson Square is Tribeca, the latest residential destination for some of the world’s biggest-name pop stars and movie stars, and the E train that stops two blocks away will get you to nearly any other part of the borough.

Spend your days pounding the pavement, and after dark, choosing from the bounty of trendy local nightclubs and lounges throughout town. Although you may well prefer to retire to Arlo’s own rooftop bar, whose views extend all the way to New Jersey.

FACILITIES

HAROLD’S MEAT + THREE RESTAURANT - Chef Harold Moore puts an East Coast spin on the classic southern "meat and three" concept. Quality cuts of meat, seafood, and veggie-friendly proteins are paired with three sides from a plentiful list of seasonal vegetables, grains and starches. There’s a salad bar unlike any other and sweet tea cocktails to compliment the southern flavours. Enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at this savoury downtown restaurant.

ARLO LIQUOR BAR - Locals and guests alike sip drinks and share stories in the charming courtyard and Liquor Bar. With a rotating cocktail list, expansive 'brown liquor' selection, small bites from Chef Harold Moore, and flexible, contemporary design, the setting is perfect to spend an hour or an evening.

GOOD STORY - The views of the Hudson River from the rooftop bar are a good enough reason enough to visit, though there's also an excellent selection of craft beer, well-mixed cocktails, and in the warmer months, grilled snacks and small plates.  In a one-of-a-kind twist, 'pop-up' experiences take over Good Story from time to time as the bar transforms into anything from a Winter Wonderland to an Urban-style Luau. Surprises abound, from the decor of the space to the libations on the cocktail list, ensuring that everyone has a tale to tell after a night at Good Story.

BODEGA - A well-stocked 24-hour pantry with hot cups of JOE coffee, fresh salads and sandwiches from Chef Harold Moore and local snacks. There's a host of eclectic bites to discover curated by Mouth.com, including True Gentlemen Korean BBQ Jerky, Tumbador cookies, and a variety of other sweets from some of the New York City's best chocolatiers like Nunu, Liddabit, and Cacao Prieto.

LIBRARY - Located just past the lobby is the Library, a multi-use common area that shifts from a co-working space during the day, to an evening hang out space, complete with a vast selection of boardgames, throwback movies, and cocktail service from the Lobby Bar.

THE COURTYARD - An excellent spot to relax in the outdoors, shaded by bamboo trees and lit from above with festive lights. Enjoy a cocktail from Arlo Liquor Bar or simply catch up with friends in this beautiful lobby-level outdoor space.
