On Our Radar: Grand Opening of the Distrikt Hotel NYC

Distrikt Hotel

We're excited to check out the Distrikt Hotel which recently opened and honors New York City.  Each of the Distrikt Hotel's floors pays homage to a different neighborhood in Manhattan such as: Chelsea, Soho, the Lower East Side, and Tribeca.  The neighborhoods encompass three floors each starting downtown with the Financial District and ending in Harlam on the top floors.  They are represented by backlit collages from artist Chris Rubino on each floor.  You can even request a neighborhood where you would like to stay.

The hotel's great location Midtown on West 40th between 8th and 9th Avenues is easy walking to shows, shopping and good eats.
