The Art Nouveau Ameritania Hotel's best feature is its proximity to some of Manhattan's sights, including Broadway and Times Square. The large, sleek lobby is bathed in off-white hues and furnished with a mix of contemporary leather chairs and antique sofas. Rooms are chic, with warm tan and brown palettes, checkerboard-pattern carpets and platform beds. You'll also find down comforters, CD players and on-demand movies. Add free coffee in the morning and it's a pretty sweat deal, especially for the location.
