Important information about traveling with kids:
Some hotels may charge extra for a rollaway bed or a crib - depending upon age. This possible extra charge is not always displayed by the hotel to appear with the list of available rates offered.
In order to make sure that you see the exact rate that you will be charged for an accommodation for more than 2 adults, it is best to double-check by emailing us at customer service with your dates and the ages of your children. We will be happy to confirm rates and availability for you.

This hotel has been selected for:
Located at the intersection of Mercer and Prince in SoHo, The Mercer hotel is New York's first loft hotel and captures the very essence of the area. Lofts are a uniquely SoHo phenomenon, pioneered by artists in the 1960s who took over the neighborhood's many abandoned warehouses. Loft living is about sunlight and leaving the original architecture intact, and at The Mercer, brickwork is exposed, windows are industry size, and iron support columns run from floor to ceiling. It's one of the few New York hotels to boast wooden floors, and Christian Liaigre's spare furnishings are appropriately unobtrusive, because, as your downtown designer friend might say, the beauty of a place is in its empty spaces.
Walking into the lobby/library (not a gimmick—you can check the books out) is like walking into the apartment of that same designer friend of yours—pale leather screens, worn Turkish carpet, leather banquettes and low oval coffee tables. The rooms have a nice secular touch—no Bibles, just Paper magazine—while bathrooms feature stark white tiles, deliciously soft Frette towels and hip Face Stockholm beauty products. Ask for a room where the Scandinavian blonde wood partitions dividing bedroom and bathroom slide open and voila, you're having a soak just steps away from your plush, inviting bed. To be frank, the arrangement (the cube shaped tubs easily fit two) is conducive to frolicking, as are the huge walk-in showers and the six-foot mirrors. (Yes, there are complimentary mints and condoms alongside the shampoo.)
The neighboring Mercer Kitchen houses a bar, usually crammed with well-heeled Manhattanites gossiping, and sporting plenty of Prada-clad attitude, while the restaurant is French family dining, as interpreted by über-chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, and is booked out weeks in advance.
Surprisingly, perhaps, The Mercer is a good hotel for families—babies can sleep in Frette-lined cribs, complete with toys—and while the staff may be well-dressed, they don't put on any airs: they'll get you anything from Assam teabags to a bikini wax in your room at two in the morning. You never have to step foot outside the Mercer for want of anything; and in New York terms, that is living at its most decadent.

Located perfectly in the heart of Soho, you do not even have to leave the Lobby to feel that you are in the center of New York action. Same is with the food. Although you have an exquisite selection of restaurants around Prince Street, breakfast at the Mercer Room is a social and aesthetical revelation. For anyone interested in shopping, all major brands from A.P.C. to Costume National are around the corner, and if you come home to your room a little exhausted, just light the little Mercer Candle, slip in your IPod and relax after a steaming shower on the ultra comfortable bed. Even for clubbing later you only have to look outside the door to find that all bird of pardise will end up on the cute metal chairs outside the nightclub next door to puff a cig. During my last stay I ended up writing a whole chapter for a book, a very inspiring place indeed.I Disliked

Friendly front desk staff Complimentary soft drinks in fridge Loft style design LocationI Disliked
Housekeeping spilt red wine over my papers and cards. They tried to cover it up by putting papers at bottom of pile (as if I would not notice!). Hotel staff horrified and supportive-offered 50% discount but it turned out to be one night ( not my understanding and rather cheap in the circumstances as I'd come away for a rest)). My room seemed to have lots of mosquitoes or midges- bitten all over. Considering the hotel's reputation I was very disappointed.3026 user(s) found this review helpful
