THE MERCER, New York

The Mercer - A landmark Romanesque revival hotel in SoHo with loft-style rooms and Jean-Georges dining

Located in a historic 1890 Romanesque revival building, this 5-star New York City hotel features 74 rooms across six floors in SoHo. Christian Liaigre designed the modernist interiors with 14-foot ceilings, exposed brick walls, and a library-lounge. The rooms showcase loft-style living with high ceilings, open floor plans, and large windows, equipped with 400-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets and HD televisions. The Mercer Kitchen, a two-level 200-seat restaurant by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, combines a 40-seat street café and a 160-seat lower dining room featuring brick walls and wenge-wood furnishings. The hotel provides 24-hour concierge service, in-room spa sessions, and complimentary passes to a nearby fitness center. The Mercer stands 5 minutes from Broadway-Lafayette Street and within walking distance to Greenwich Village, Noho, Nolita, and the Lower East Side.
