The Sohotel

About The Sohotel

The Sohotel suits travelers who want to sleep in the middle of SoHo and walk to much of lower Manhattan. Couples can spend a day among the cast-iron blocks and shops and be back at the door in minutes. Business travelers are within easy reach of the Financial District and Midtown offices. Late arrivals find a 24 hour front desk. The address is on Broome Street, where the surrounding blocks are given over to stores, galleries and places to eat rather than through traffic.

The Sohotel is a four-star hotel in the supplier's rating, and the same supplier records a guest score of 4.1 out of 5 from 798 reviews. Treat that score as a summary of how past guests described their stays, not a promise about yours. The property is a hotel rather than an apartment or guesthouse, so the listed services include a front desk that stays open all night and a concierge who can help with plans. Air conditioning and wifi are among the listed facilities.

Rooms and listed facilities

The listed facilities at The Sohotel cover the basics for most trips. Couples get air conditioning, wifi and a safe in the building, plus a restaurant and a bar on site. Families can ask about family rooms and a cot. Business travelers have internet access and luggage storage for a late departure. The 24 hour front desk and 24 hour security matter most to anyone arriving on a night flight. Confirm room type, bedding and any extra charge for a cot with the property before booking.

The setting

The Sohotel stands at 341 Broome Street, in SoHo, Downtown Manhattan, on a street of low buildings and old storefronts. The blocks around it hold shops, galleries and places to eat, and the West Village, NoLIta and the Lower East Side all begin within a short walk. Distances here are straight lines, so walking routes run longer. The 9/11 Memorial is about 1.1 miles (1.8 km) away, Penn Station about 2.1 miles (3.4 km), Times Square about 2.7 miles (4.3 km) and Grand Central Terminal about 2.5 miles (4 km).

Location and neighborhood

SoHo, Little Italy and Hudson Square occupy the lower grid between Houston Street and Canal Street, where the Commissioners' Plan gives way to older streets and cast-iron fronts. The district rewards a walking stay: SoHo's loft blocks show the city's iron-building era, Little Italy keeps the shape of an immigrant neighborhood around Mulberry Street, and Hudson Square mixes former industrial blocks with new residential streets. Start at the edge of Greenwich Village and move south on foot. The architecture changes block by block, and the street pattern makes a short walk feel like a history lesson. Check opening days for museums and galleries before setting out.

For a culture-led visit, the district works as a set of short walks rather than a checklist. Begin with the cast-iron blocks south of Houston Street and look up at the facades, then follow the older streets toward Little Italy. The area's history is layered: nineteenth-century industry, immigration, and later preservation campaigns shaped the blocks you see today. Public squares and church steps give natural pauses. Keep the pace slow and let side streets set the route. Some smaller galleries and historic interiors keep limited hours, so check before making a special trip.

Getting there and around

The Sohotel sits around 2.7 miles (4.3 km) from the area center, with the major rail stations around 2.5 miles (4 km) away and the airports around 13 miles (20.2 km) by road. On foot, the district is compact, but Houston Street and Canal Street are wide and need care at crossings. The subway runs 24 hours; tap a contactless card or phone at the turnstiles. Bus routes cross the area, and service changes are common, so check the transit authority before a late trip. For the Brooklyn Bridge and the river parks, walking is often simpler than a connection. Allow extra time at peak hours.

Nearby sights and food

From The Sohotel, the strongest set of sights lies south and west: the Brooklyn Bridge walk, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, and the waterfront parks along the Hudson. Little Island and Hudson River Park make an easy pair for a clear afternoon; the High Line continues north toward Hudson Yards and the Vessel. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island are reached by ferry from Battery Park, and those crossings need a check of entry arrangements. The area also works for a museum day: the 9/11 museum and the memorial pools have separate entry arrangements, so check hours before setting out.

The district's food map follows its history. Little Italy has Italian-American menus, bakeries, and old-school red-sauce rooms, with Chinese and other cuisines on the nearby edges. SoHo adds coffee shops, casual lunch counters, and small plates for shoppers and gallery visitors. Hudson Square is more workday: sandwich shops, salad places, and takeout counters fill the weekday lunch rush, while the evening choice widens toward the Village and Tribeca. For a slower meal, look for a fixed-menu place and check whether reservations are needed. Street food and market stalls appear at different times, so check local listings.

A day from The Sohotel

A day from The Sohotel begins with a walk north through the cast-iron blocks of SoHo, looking at facades and side streets before the shops open. Continue on foot into Little Italy for a late-morning coffee and a look at the older street pattern. Pause for lunch in the area, then choose one afternoon thread: the Brooklyn Bridge walk and waterfront parks, or the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Keep the second option for a dry day, since the memorial pools are outdoors. Return through Hudson Square as offices empty, then eat dinner toward the Village or Tribeca. Check opening hours and entry arrangements with the sites before leaving.
