New York City is famous for its postage-stamp-sized rooms, but the Conrad New York Downtown is a luxurious anomaly with an all-suite property that gives you space actually to breathe in space-starved Manhattan. Each room features separate living and sleeping areas divided by sleek sliding panels, perfect for working remotely or sharing a room with kids.

This Tribeca gem isn’t just about square footage, though. The hotel flexes its creative muscle with a museum-worthy collection of over 2,000 artworks scattered throughout the property. And while plenty of hotels claim to be 5-stars, the Conrad Downtown backs it up with the kind of amenities that make a difference: Nespresso machines for your morning caffeine fix, full-sized Byredo toiletries, and Frette linens that’ll make you rethink your bedding choices back home.

Location-wise, you’re perfectly positioned for both tourist must-sees and local gems. The Hudson River views provide a peaceful escape from city chaos, while heavy hitters like the New York Stock Exchange and Oculus are just a short walk away. The cherry on top? A seasonal rooftop bar that serves up some of the best views in Lower Manhattan, minus the tourist crowds you’ll find at better-known sky-high spots.

Location

The Conrad Downtown New York occupies a prime location overlooking the Hudson River. You’ll enjoy sweeping views and easy access to major downtown attractions, including Wall Street and the Statue of Liberty. Guests will appreciate the nearby subway lines and ferries, all within a short walk, making it easy to explore the city.

Additionally, the hotel is adjacent to Brookfield Place, home to the lively Hudson Eats food hall, where visitors can sample a variety of local dining options.

The Rooms

At the Conrad, guests are treated to generous two-room suites that redefine luxury in New York City. Each suite comes equipped with modern amenities, including high-tech lighting controls, two flat-screen HDTVs, and individual climate control, ensuring a comfortable stay. The decor is stylish and contemporary, featuring a soothing palette of light woods and neutral tones, complemented by art pieces that reflect the hotel’s artistic vibe.

The suites themselves offer ample space, a rarity in Manhattan. Each room features a separate living area, allowing for a perfect blend of comfort and functionality. We stayed in a Hudson River View Suite, which overlooked the water through a floor-to-ceiling window.

The bathrooms are designed with a focus on comfort, featuring large walk-in showers with rainfall showerheads, and premium Byredo toiletries add a touch of indulgence.

Dining

The Conrad offers one full-service restaurant on site, Atrio Wine Bar & Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. Located on the lobby’s second floor, Atrio serves everything from pizza to avocado toast.

For a more relaxed setting, the seasonal Loopy Doopy Rooftop Bar is a must-visit during warmer months. Offering spectacular views of the Hudson River, this rooftop venue serves creative cocktails and small plates.

Amenities

The Conrad’s amenities center around the hotel’s sustainability ethos. Our favorite amenity was the in-suite water filter and complimentary reusable aluminum water bottles, eliminating the need for single-use bottles.

Other eco-friendly amenities include:

Recyclable Nespresso pods
Full-sized Byredo toiletries that are refilled between guests
Smart lighting
