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.

The best option in NYC!
Overall rating: Excellent
Stayed July 2008
I Liked
Location, location, location. To sip drinks or eat a delicious breakfast in the lobby area while looking at gorgeous people passing by is priceless. I have spotted Harrison Ford, Calista Flockhart, Kate Bosworth and Mario Testino in addition to a lot of models earlier. The staff is the most pleasant, kind and efficient I have ever met in NYC - and although this is a pricey alternative it doesn't feel as stiff or uptight as many other luxurious hotels in NYC.I Disliked
Nothing really, but if you pressure me the conditioner in the bathroom was a little bit too milky for my taste... And it would have been nice with a roof top pool and bar for those hot summer nights. But you can find that easily nearby.896 user(s) found this review helpful.
Mercer - recommended

I Liked
We liked the lobby which was buzzy with a great atmosphere; the room which was fabulous (although in fairness it was one of the bigger rooms) - nicely furnished, excellent linen and toileteries ; the service - we used the concierges to book restaurants, trips and cup cakes - they were efficient, effective and polite. There was a book launch in the lobby during our stay - we were both told in advance and invited. Perfect location in Soho. We have stayed a couple of times in 60 Thompson but would rate the Mercer much higher.I Disliked

A lot of boutique hotels claim to be cool and contemporary. The Mercer just 'is'. It looks like it isn't even trying - relaxed, fashionable and full of A class celebs to help you feel you are mixing with the A crowd (even if you are more D list yourself).I Disliked
Price! But hey, at least I had the Euro exchange rate so the hit wasn't too bad. Great solution for a two-day stay - would be seriously pricey for anything longer (room rate was around $820)4224 user(s) found this review helpful.

We were disappointed compared to our previous stay as our room was much smaller, despite being told it would be the same. Staff very good and friendly.3955 user(s) found this review helpful.

I originally booked for one night only of a three night stay in NYC, as at the time of booking the Mercer had no further availability. On the morning I was due to check out the concierge encouraged me to take the room for the two remaining nights as it had become available. Since my other hotel required only a small cancellation charge, and in spite of Mercer being more expensive, I chose this option. I did so because I found Mercer very comfortable, convivial and convenient to the places I wanted to go.3443 user(s) found this review helpful.
