Built in 1890 as an office building for John Jacob Astor II, this landmark location was until recently home to shabby lofts for Soho artists. Then it was totally renovated into this impressive luxury boutique hotel. High ceilings and large windows add to the grandeur of each room. It is across the street from the Guggenheim Museum Soho and near all the galleries of SoHo. It is not far from Greenwich Village, Little Italy and Chinatown as well.
