A unique hotel near Cooper Square is the Cooper Square Hotel. An interesting hotel with no signage on the front door, with the exception of the address number, and once you enter the front doors, someone is kind enough to open the main doors to the hotel for you.
Head into the library and have a seat and maybe a drink, while someone checks you in for your stay. The library is full of books of varying topics, both fiction and nonfiction. The seats are comfortable and the atmosphere is relaxed, and there is water, tea and wine to choose from while you wait or relax.
In the newly constructed 21-story building in the heart of downtown Manhattan, the rooms are beautiful. The rooms are small, but the large windows with unobstructed views of Manhattan make the rooms feel much larger.
Much more interestingly is the public spaces in the hotel. Many are “hidden” behind doors that look like walls, in a 1920’s Prohibition-style speak-easy. This makes it very interesting for the guests at the hotel, as the main bar and restaurant is hidden behind one of these fake walls.
That said, the Cooper Square Hotel’s staff and bartenders are very professional and helpful, and are more than willing to help navigate you around the hotel and around the city.
They offer complimentary wireless Internet and have a deal worked out with the gym across the street that guests also can get complimentary guest day passes.
If you do decide to stay here and are planning on taking a taxi ride to the hotel at any point, make sure to have the hotel address and phone number on hand, just in case. Our cab driver didn’t know of the hotel and had to call for cross streets to find his way there.
