Soho-loft designer boutique
Located in Downtown Soho, The Mercer is well located for strolling around historic Chinatown and dining in Little Italy. The New Museum of Contemporary Art is a short walk from the hotel. Washington Square and Greenwich Village are also within easy reach, or take a ferry to Ellis Island and Liberty Island to see the Statue of Liberty. The Mercer is within easy reach of the Empire State Building and other New York attractions.
The Mercer captures New York’s SoHo attitude perfectly with its contemporary design flavoured with a touch of Bohemian attitude. Built in a revival Romanesque building dating back to 1890, it is situated in one of the most sought after neighborhoods in New York.
The Mercer was the first loft-style boutique hotel in New York. It is one of several owned by luxury hotelier Andre Balazs and offers light, airy accommodation in each of the 75 rooms and suites. The huge windows and high ceilings give an immense feeling of space to these well designed rooms. Hardwood flooring, generous closet space, WiFi connections, dimmer switches on the lighting and flat screen TVs with DVD and CD players offer plenty of home comforts. Bathrooms are ultra modern along with double size marble bathtubs. Designer Christian Liagre’s contemporary furnishings have neutral colours and simple lines to maximize the feeling of loft-style living.
Room service is offered 24/7 and snacks and beverages are also available in the lobby of this luxury hotel, which has an appealing library of fashion, art and architecture books. The Mercer Kitchen is as casual as it sounds, serving excellent cuisine created by chef Jean’Georges Vongerichten. Laundry services, a packing and unpacking service, a complimentary minibar, personal trainer and massage services meet the needs of most travellers. This hip boutique hotel also offers a well equipped business center for those who are visiting New York on business. Celebrities, tourists and business guests all enjoy the modern comforts of this luxury hotel in New York’s most desirable SoHo district.
