Scene

Vibrant black-and-white decor with a New Orleans theme

With a New Orleans theme and bold black-and-white decor, The French Quarters NYC offers a fun alternative to standard cookie-cutter hotels. This six-story building with a red-brick facade was a boarding house -- a single-room occupancy hotel -- which has been cleverly converted into studio-type rooms. Ornamental wrought-iron balconies provide a nod to New Orleans' architecture, while the on-site restaurant serves Creole-style fare. Apart from the restaurant and bars, there are few common areas where guests can gather and mingle. The reception area is small with charming black-and-white tiled floors and walls, framed oil paintings, and a reception counter tucked into a corner. This hotel caters to tourists seeking an alternative to the big hotel chains with a central location. It tends to draw couples and families on a city getaway.

Rooms

Rooms and suites with kitchenettes and exposed-brick walls

The 22 guest rooms and five suites at The French Quarters NYC are pleasantly decorated in sharp black and white details. Armchairs are upholstered in black-and-white stripes, and black furniture contrasts with crisp white linens. Curtains and bed skirts are covered in black-and-white toile fabric. All rooms have exposed-brick walls, offering a decorative accent to spaces that can seem cramped because of low ceilings. Kitchenettes with mini-fridges, stove tops, coffeemakers, and sinks are also wedged into these spaces. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs and DVD players, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. Irons and ironing boards and hairdryers are also provided. Bathrooms are modern and tastefully fitted with black-and-white tiles, pedestal sinks, and large walk-in showers, and L'Occitane toiletries. Rooms with two queen- or king-size beds are also available, which are convenient for families or groups of friends traveling together. The two-bedroom suites include separate living areas with pull-out sofas and additional flat-screen TV, and private balconies or patios with tables and chairs, some with scenic views of the New York skyline.
