New York: Top 5 Hotel Newcomers

Welcome to the party, see ya’ around campus…

1. Gild Hall (Lower Manhattan) - The first stylish thing to fall into the South Street Seaport and Financial District orbit since ... uh, ever?
2. The Bowery Hotel (East Village) - Maritime peeps head east with 17-story tower. Upstairs, it’s a loft of your own, crisply appointed with knockout views.
3. Gramercy Park Hotel (Union Square) - Ian Schrager’s remodel trips out on tapestries and velvet, with leather-topped desks for better sex.

4. Greenwich Hotel (Tribeca) - The mayor of Tribeca finally gets “hotelier” on his résumé. Travis Bickle types book elsewhere, please.
5. 6 Columbus (Midtown West) - Another address-monikered ultra-swank boutique property from the boys behind 60 Thompson.
