The SoLita SoHo Hotel, a surprisingly pleasant addition to the Chinatown area, opened its doors in August 2004. Although a self-described "boutique-style hotel," the Solita is part of the Choice Hotel chain empire, so don't be expecting an independent or hipster mom-and-pop hotel.
We weren't so impressed by the lobby with its electric blue lighting, stainless steel surfaces, and other attempts at a chic, sleek look. But the rooms upstairs, though small, are ultra comfortable and very modern with minimal furniture arranged so as not to make the space feel cramped.
Despite the scant size of the rooms, the SoLita does fill in the perks: you get Herbal Essences toiletries, a dual-massage shower head, and bathrobe. Plus, the relatively inexpensive price for this location and level of comfort makes it a good choice for someone who wants a little more style alongside their chain-hotel security. |
