Suite Dreams

Things to go on your “Never Saw it Coming” list: a $55 mac ‘n cheese, K-Fed outshining Britney, and a cool hotel opening on the Bowery.

Only a few floors have opened but The Bowery Hotel is up and running. Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson, the geniuses behind The Park and The Maritime Hotel, have outfitted Manhattan’s former Skid Row with the tallest building in the vicinity.

Rather than furnish the hotel with the traditional minimalist look gracing most boutique hotels, a refreshing haute Bohemian ambiance resides not unlike the spirit of the Gramercy Park Hotel: think crisp white linens with red embroidery (including the hotel’s name stitched in the pillows), exposed white brick walls and dark wood accoutrements for a comfortable, almost un-urban aesthetic.

Best of all, the $245 introductory rate is easy on your wallet. And, you get bragging rights that you were tough enough to spend the night on the Bowery.
