After a 2003 facelift, the Adagio has become a stylish option for travelers seeking a bit of contemporary design. The hotel’s style mixes a dash of Spanish Colonial (Moorish archways) with clean, contemporary touches (sleek couches and whimsical light fixtures).The hotel’s restaurant, Cortez, draws a hip crowd seeking Mediterranean small plates. You’ll appreciate the close-to-it-all location and soothing earth tones of the modern rooms, which feature plush beds and Egyptian linens. If you need to travel a little farther than nearby Union Square, the hotel offers complimentary car service each morning for business travelers.
