The SoHotel is a fabulous 96-room hotel in Nolita, a tiny 'hood between SoHo and the Lower East Side. It's a splashy place, especially so following its 2009 façade and lobby revamp. Its lobby, up a short flight of stairs, sets the new tone with its exposed brick and animal-print chairs and couches.
Rooms extend over four levels. They repeat the lobby's exposed brick motif. Walls are a vibrant yellow. Large flat-panel television and thick thirteen-inch Therapedic mattresses are two room hallmarks; some rooms also include iPod docks. Tall dark-wood chests of drawers, hardwood floors, and quilted duvets finish off the selection.
Marble bathrooms are standard fare. Another perk is the in-house line of toiletries, created for the hotel by La Bottega.
The crowd at SoHotel includes lots of Europeans and tourists. The location is fabulous for anyone after that fun, vibrant Lower Manhattan atmosphere.
Note: This hotel was visited by a EuroCheapo editor and is recommended based on cleanliness, location, price and overall quality. EuroCheapo did not charge this hotel to be listed.

About the SoHotel neighborhood
Ah, gentrification. The Lower East Side, which extends southwest from the intersection of Bowery and Houston Street, is an area in flux. Since the 1800s, it's been a neighborhood of immigrants: starting with the Irish, Germans, Jewish, and Eastern Europeans, whose often unbearable living conditions are well-documented at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum.
However, these days the LES is known more for its hipster denizens than anyone else. Beginning in the late 1980s grungy artist types started moving into the area. Fifteen years later the trendy masses followed, bringing their French bistros and funky boutiques with them. But don't be fooled by the 20-something fanfare. Walk a few blocks beyond the bars and newly renovated buildings, and you'll find that the neighborhood is much the same. Immigrants still form the bulk of LES residents, only now they come from China, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic.
The ever-expanding Chinatown and ever-shrinking Little Italy form the neighborhood's western border. The East Village is just north, while SoHo and the Financial District are in walking distance.
