Sheraton Tribeca New York Hotel

This downtown property has the feel of a modern chain hotel, with contemporary, generic decor in the lobby and state-of-the-art cardio machines in the small fitness center.

Aside from the fitness center, the hotel lacks amenities typical of upscale properties. Its standout feature is the spacious lobby, with free Wi-Fi and a bar that stays open late.

Club Rooms have access to a large rooftop deck.

This downtown hotel is steps from the A, C, E subway lines and a short walk to others. Situated in the artsy Tribeca neighborhood, it is surrounded by chic galleries and award-winning restaurants like Nobu. This historic neighborhood is also famous for the annual Tribeca Film Festival held each spring. SoHo's shopping district, Chinatown, and Little Italy are also within walking distance of the hotel.
