Manhattan is famous for its closet-sized hotel rooms, but at the Conrad Downtown New York, space is just one of the many luxuries in ample supply at this all-suite, five-star hotel. Tucked away on the west side of the West Side Highway, the hotel has uninterrupted views of the Hudson River and Rockefeller Park on one side and city views on the other. Rooms are enormous, particularly for New York City (this is one of the few all-suite properties in the city), and all have separate living rooms and sliding partitions. Upscale amenities include Nespresso machines, full-sized bottles of Byredo toiletries, fluffy robes, slippers, and wet bars.
The sitting areas feature normal-sized desks and ergonomic office chairs, making this hotel a great choice if you work remotely. Some suites have comfortable sofa beds, which are perfect for families traveling with kids who might go to bed earlier than their parents.
With the high-end Hudson Eats food hall just a five-minute walk from the hotel, dining options are limited to Atrio Wine Bar & Restaurant, located on the lobby's second floor. In warm weather, the seasonal Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar adds another option.
The Conrad’s soaring, 15-story atrium lobby with large art installations makes a dramatic first impression. The location is close to downtown attractions, including Wall Street, Chinatown, Battery Park, and the Statue of Liberty. Numerous subway stops and ferries are within walking distance.

Conrad New York's atrium lobby, accessed by escalators from the main entrance, effectively sets the tone for the entire hotel: It's massive, sleek, and a little futuristic. The space is dominated by Monica Ponce De Leon's giant two-tiered sculpture, made of aluminum and hundreds of cables suspended from the ceiling, and Sol LeWitt's 13-story, 80-by-100-foot "Loopy Doopy" painting, the namesake for the hotel’s seasonal rooftop bar. (These particular pieces are headliners in a museum-quality collection of modern and contemporary art; the collection comprises more than 2,000 works, including paintings by Frank Stella and Elizabeth Peyton.) The lobby lighting rotates through moody colors, which enhances the ultra-modern feel.
Considering the downtown location, high-corporate vibe, sizable suites, and business-oriented features, this is a popular pick for travelers in town for work.
Location
In Battery Park City, with views of the Hudson River and New Jersey skyline
The Conrad Downtown New York is located in Battery Park City, a riverfront neighborhood on the westernmost side of lower Manhattan. It's a convenient location for seeing downtown sights such as The Oculus World Trade Center, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Trinity Church, the Statue of Liberty, and Wall Street. Numerous subway lines and ferries are within a 10-minute walk. The hotel is adjacent to the high-end Brookfield Place shopping center, which houses Hudson Eats, a lively food court where you can sample some of New York’s most popular eateries.
Rooms
Huge two-room suites with lots of luxurious extras
As one might expect after seeing Conrad's modern lobby, the hotel's 463 rooms come with plenty of bells and whistles—high-tech lighting controls, two flat-screen HDTVs with a good selection of channels (including HBO), individual climate control, wet bars, and Nespresso machines, among other luxe amenities. The decor is clean and modern, featuring light woods, neutral colors, contemporary art, fluffy white duvets, and excellent pillows on the comfortable beds.
Every room is a two-room suite with a separate living room and bedroom—remarkable in New York City, where plenty of hotels charge much more for less square footage—and some even have pull-out sofa beds. Deluxe and Hudson River View Suites are 430 square feet, with either a king or two double beds. Higher level suites range from 700 square feet to 1,500 square feet.
The bathroom areas in the Deluxe and Superior Suites are designed to maximize space. There is a narrow room with a toilet and sink and an adjacent (and massive) walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead. Both are accessed from the corridor between the living room and bedroom. The hotel supplies quality robes, slippers, and full-size bottles of upscale Byredo toiletries.
Wi-Fi is free in the rooms and throughout the hotel. Digital concierge services are available for making dinner reservations, ordering 24-hour room service, or requesting amenities for the room; the service can be accessed using the in-room TVs or guests' laptops, smartphones, and tablets. Nightly turndown service is provided, along with thoughtful amenities such as an aromatherapy sleeping balm. Handicap-accessible suites are available. Rooms offer either river or city views, but it's worth it to opt for a room on the river side, as city-view rooms often look into the Goldman Sachs building.
Features
More than 30,000 square feet of meeting space, an all-day restaurant, and a seasonal rooftop bar
The hotel has an impressive amount of meeting space—over 30,000 flexible square feet. All of the meeting rooms are grouped together in a separate area off of the lobby so that the rest of the hotel won't feel as overrun during big events.
To eat on-site, Atrio Wine Bar and Restaurant serves all three meals daily, plus brunch on the weekends and room service 24 hours a day. Located on the lobby's second floor, Atrio is a popular spot for after-work drinks. The Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar, located on the 16th floor, is a seasonal venue open in warm weather (from early afternoon until after dinner) for cocktails, small plates, and excellent views of the Hudson River.
The hotel has fitness and business centers, both open 24/7, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. An airport shuttle service is available 24 hours a day, with rates starting at $205. Valet parking starts at $80 per night, and there are no in/out privileges.
