Nighty Night in New York

An old, dear friend of my husband's is coming soon to visit us for a long weekend. Cameron and his lovely bride, Melanie, will see our little corner of the world which is quite different from Manhattan, their beloved city. Thinking about their upcoming visit reminded me of our fabulous springtime trip to the city that never sleeps. We stayed at Hotel Indigo, located in the heart of Chelsea. What was quite surprising, is although it is a small chain hotel, it has the distinctive feel of a small, luxury boutique hotel. Their standard room typically goes for $300+ a night but we found a special sale on quickbook.com for only $140 per night! What a deal. The service was excellent, the rooms are outfitted with bold and funky over-sized graphic photos, actual wood floors and contemporary bathrooms. There is even a roof top deck - which somehow managed to elude me this last time but not the next!

Standard guest room. Free WiFi, incredibly comfortable beds and pillows makes me a fan forever. Via

Guest Suite; same great design, just more of it! Via

Curb-less, door-less showers and under-mount sink give a spacious feel of what is actually a small room. Fluffy towels rolled up on a teak stool is nice touch. Via

The traditional exterior belies the contemporary interiors. Via
