Moxy East Village

Another cool option in the Big Apple East Village is Moxy East Village from Marriott. Themed after the area’s vibrant counter culture, the hotel features clear nods to rock and roll, street art, and other local countercultures. Located directly opposite the infamous music venue Webster Hall, there are loads of cosy spots to enjoy a drink inside, outside and below the ground, with mismatched furniture, VHS tapes and vinyls from the local Academy Record store adorning the walls.

Cracked mirrors and graffiti artwork from the area’s creatives are found throughout the entrance and this innovative atmosphere continues downstairs to the Hotel's stunning restaurant, Cathedrale. The French-Meditteranean eatery features a huge 26-foot high dining room with a massive mesh sculpture from Edoardo Tresoldi. The 286 bedrooms have several neat design features to make them feel more spacious than they are like floor to ceiling windows and pegs across the walls replacing any clunky wardrobes. A contemporary picturesque space, that will light up your Instagram wherever you point your phone.
