NESTLED IN THE HEART OF MIDTOWN, boutique hotel 6 Columbus—one of the many new offerings from hotelier Jason Pomeranc—serves as a refreshing retreat for visitors, with Central Park, the Shops at Columbus Circle, and Jazz at Lincoln Center practically at its doorstep. Modern interiors by Steven Sclaroff allow guests to feel as though they’re truly a part of New York’s incredible urban culture, with each of the 88 guest rooms and suites boasting teak walls and custom-made furnishings for a cool, clean aesthetic. Flat-screen televisions and Dean & Deluca gourmet mini bars may make you want to stay in, but the first-rate Blue Ribbon Sushi Bar & Grill and bi-level rooftop lounge offer nightlife options not to be missed. 6 Columbus, 6 Columbus Circle, 212-204-3000; sixcolumbuscircle.com.
