A one-suite guesthouse in a 19th-century brownstone on one of the most picturesque blocks in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood, A Garden in Chelsea feels like a private pied-à-terre in New York City. In addition to a kitchenette, leafy private garden, and simple but cozy decor, the hotel has two knowledgeable and helpful innkeepers who live upstairs. Popular sights like the High Line, Chelsea Market, Madison Square Park, and the Flatiron are all within walking distance, the subway is less than three blocks away, and the price reasonable for the neighborhood.

Guests at the Hotel Carter may feel as if they’ve stepped into a time machine to yesteryear—though whether they’ll enjoy the decade they’ve landed in depends on their personal taste and appreciation for the heyday of Times Square seediness. The location is unparalleled—Times Square is literally down the block—and the price is (for Manhattan) competitive, but those who consider a hotel even a smidgen more than a place to lay your head and take a shower, and those who prize cleanliness, will want to move on.

The 138-room Latham is a chic boutique hotel with a prime location near Rittenhouse Square Park, near some of the city's best restaurants, bars, and shopping. The lobby has bold retro-chic style, and rooms have chic blue and gold decor and modern technology features, though some are on the small side. Features are comparable to those offered by other upscale boutiques: There is a modern fitness center with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the street, and a casual Italian restaurant serving all three meals. All in all, it's on par with the Hotel Palomar or Le Meridien, but rates here are sometimes lower.

With a world-class gym and spa, plus dozens of customized amenities, the all-suites Dumont is a phenomenal option if you're looking for an urban spa getaway. More than that, it's an excellent high-end choice in general as long as you don't mind being a bit of a hike away from NYC's main tourist haunts.

The Hotel Verite's website proclaims it's "absolutely the best boutique hotel" in Manhattan, but that's a bit of a stretch. The 19-room, mid-range property has a swanky contemporary lobby and shares space with a popular Korean restaurant, but its guest rooms lack the stylish modern decor found at nearby, similarly priced boutique hotels. Storage is an issue, and some rooms have skylights but no windows. Verite's location is ideal for tourists who like to explore, shop, and dine at some of Manhattan's best spots. The hotel is within walking distance to key hubs -- Gramercy, Union Square, and Madison Square Park -- and close to subway lines that serve the east and west sides of the city. It may be worth comparing rates at Carvi Hotel for access to its rooftop terrace, but it doesn't have a restaurant.
