If you're willing to sacrifice luxury, you might as well do it in the name of pop culture history. The Gershwin Hotel, a tribute to New York's 1980s Warholian Renaissance, promises a memorable stay in the shadow of the Empire State Building.
Although the modest lobby is somewhat bare, original artworks by Warhol, Liechtenstein, and Brad Howe make up for the lack in furnishings and even the blasé attitude at the front desk.
Now, don't expect sleek décor or high-end amenities. Instead imagine you're staying at a struggling artist's apartment. Sure the bed is rickety, and there's little else to your room other than a modest TV, bare wood floors, and a night table. But it's clean, and one of a kind. Those who are really low on dough can rent a bunk bed in a dormitory.
And the very best part of The Gershwin? Its guests, who help make this one unforgettable New York hotel experience. |
