Frommer's Review

The best of the downtown, celebrity-crawling, hip and trendy hotels, the Mercer is a place where even those who represent the antithesis of hip (and I'm speaking personally) can feel at home. Though SoHo can be a bit over the top with its high-end boutiques, cutting-edge restaurants, and a constant parade of too serious fashionistas on the streets, it is still an exciting place. And the corner of Mercer and Prince streets, the location of the hotel, is probably the epicenter of SoHo. Still, once inside there is a pronounced calm -- from the postmodern library lounge and the relaxed Mizrahi-clad staff, to the huge soundproof loft-like guest rooms; the hotel is a perfect complement to the scene outside your big window. The Mercer is one of the few New York hotels with ceiling fans, and even if you don't need them, they look nice whirring above your extremely comfortable bed. The tile-and-marble bathrooms have a steel cart for storage, and an oversize shower stall or oversize two-person tub (state your preference when booking). Just off the lobby is the Kitchen restaurant, one of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's earlier endeavors that is still going strong.

Facilities:
Restaurant; lounge; food and drink service in lobby; free access to nearby Crunch fitness center; 24-hr. concierge; secretarial services; 24-hr. room service; laundry service; dry cleaning; video, DVD, and CD libraries
