Price was very convenient considering average prices of the city. I'll definitely choose again Artezen Hotel in a future visit to NY.

A new side of the city. Where elegance and ease comingle. Where a warm, contemporary design story envelops you from the inside out with stunning interiors and an awe-inspiring, rippling wave façade that stands out amid the city’s iconic skyline. Where an understated, California-inspired take on progressive luxury ushers you into an airy, relaxed version of New York and its timeless sophistication. Located in the center of the city’s new west side, we are an extension of the area’s sophisticated energy with a pulse that is all our own. Welcome to Pendry Manhattan West.

One of the reasons I chose this pendry is the fact that a floor plan was available of the room type, the room exceeded my expectations! The staff was beyond amazing and the pendry had wholefoods and daily provisions just downstairs!

We are a group of 6 friends visiting New York for the first time. We were looking for a quiet location that is reasonably priced and relatively close to all attractions. The host was very kind and welcoming and he was available for all the information we needed. We had a 5-minute walk to the metro station, from where we could move in all directions, especially towards Downtown of New York. The apartment is big enough for 6 people, 5 of whom are women :) The interior is super interesting. We definitely recommend.

    This property is EXACTLY what a budget traveler needs it to be - a VERY good bed in a clean room. No more. No less. The property is very clean. The bathrooms and shower (shared) were SMALL but clean and acceptable. The staff was great. And of course, its hard to beat the location for that price. But if you are expecting anything extra, you'll be disappointed. For the budget traveler, it was great. I'd gladly stay there again.

    I absolutely adored how the room was setup! Amazing use of a small space that didn’t feel small. Very clean, modern, trendy and comfortable! Perfect location. Loved the $30 credit to use every day. I was able to get breakfast and lunch to go from the next door cafe and that made my stay even cheaper. Felt very safe. Hotel staff very accommodating for an early checkin (5am when my flight landed) and this was for a reasonable fee. Would recommend to family and friends for sure!
