In the heart of the Financial District, this downtown hotel is a good choice for business travelers who need proximity to Wall Street as well as vacationers who want to be near popular spots like Battery Park, Greenwich Village, Tribeca and Soho. The ho-hum guestrooms in the 55-story skyscraper aren't anything special in terms of décor, but they do have 42-inch flat-screen televisions, high-speed Internet access, personalized voicemail and the Hilton's "Serenity Bed" with plush down pillows. Request a room with views of the Statue of Liberty or East River, with its iconic bridges. Fitness facilities are top-notch and include a heated indoor pool.
