Why We Love It
- Right in the heart of the buzzy Meatpacking District, filled with stylish eateries, of-the-moment clubs and upscale shopping
- Manhattan's only sand beach and a club-like scene at the rooftop pool
- A stay here means access to hard-to-get-into nightclub PH-D and rooftop lounge
- Marvel at the eye-popping decor including an exterior that resembles block of steel Swiss cheese and a glass bottom pool cantilevered over the lobby
"High-design hotel" -- Frommer's

Overview
The Dream Downtown hotel takes its heritage seriously. Paying homage to its seafaring past, the 12-story shimmering building is chock-full of porthole-shaped windows and smaller bubble-like holes. The striking façade is hard to miss from anywhere in the vicinity; it’s like seeing a giant shiny block of Swiss cheese.
Inside the emphasis on aquatic pursuits persists. A glass-bottom pool is suspended over the entrance, giving swimmers and lobby loungers one-of-a-kind views. An outdoor sand “beach” beckons guests to catch a few rays and dream of islands less populated than Manhattan.
Rooms are on the small side, even the suites. An upgrade to a pricier room will get you a balcony thats larger than the rooms themselves. The design makes the most of the petite spaces, with illuminated orbs that dangle from the ceiling and silvery seaweed-like curtains swaying against a wall. Whites and pale grays envelope the walls and bedding, with fur-covered ottomans popping out against the muted backdrop.
Families traveling with kids should probably pass up a stay at this hotel, where young scenesters flock to the exclusive rooftop lounge, to hear DJs spin pulsating beats into the wee hours.
From the press:
- "Arise in the morning in your all white and groovy room, with its massive round window (upon which a silvery curtain floats), the walls cut out like an origami project" -- Frommer's
- "The hotel recreates a "beach club" experience on its pool deck with a sandy patch and suites that lead directly on to the pool area" -- TimeOut
