This is it folks: the longest continuously running hotel in New York City. When it opened in 1850, it boasted rates of $35 a night, which at the time meant only aristocrats got to sleep there. Today, the Cosmopolitan Hotel is much more democratic. Of course, rates have gone up. But they're now more the provenance of Cheapos than the visiting elite.
The hotel boasts both an unbeatable location and beautiful guest rooms, which are spacious and sleek. Each is infused with individual character. Framed artwork—from vintage posters to abstract floral prints—decorate the walls. The bathrooms are small but spotless with marble countertops.
The hotel's history is narrated in black-and-white prints lining the hallway. Outside, the historical character of Tribeca prevails. Soda Shop serves up milkshakes around the corner, and there are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops in the area.
