Archer Hotel New York
45 W. 38th St.
Nestled in Midtown’s Garment District just steps from Bryant Park and the New York Public Library, this independent boutique offers trendy rooms with a residential feel. Though rooms are quite compact, the hotel makes up for its limited space with floor-to-ceiling windows, industrial-inspired furnishings, gleaming black-and-white subway tiled bathrooms and free Wi-Fi. Locally curated goodies appear at the nightly turndown service, accompanied by a note from “Archer,” the property’s hospitable (and fictional) host. Don’t miss the Spyglass Rooftop Bar where you’ll find unobstructed views of the Empire State Building.
