Industrial beam ceilings, exposed brick walls, and orange leather dining chairs give this one-bedroom, one bathroom loft a sexy, ’70s vibe. Low slung seating centered around two sets of Scarpa-esque tables in the living area encourages conversation, as does the cozy dining nook just off the kitchen. The intimate one-bedroom also includes a dedicated work area if you’re penciling in some work on your time off, along with great storage space for luggage and other personal items. Peach colored tiles in the bathroom continue the mellowed-out atmosphere of the place, while the skylit bedroom offers a great setting for curling up with a book. When you’re ready to hit the city, make your way over to nearby No Rose Bar to knock back a few cocktails. From $2,028 for three nights with a three-night minimum stay.
