Setting

In the swing of Soho

If you’re not quite ready to grow up, but these days you want someone who knows your coffee order in the morning or that you prefer your cocktail curled up on a sofa, the Manner hotel will suit you very well indeed. This adults-only New York stay, in the heart of high-octane SoHo, has the fashionable fun of its Standard sister stays, but with the polish of Milanese design, clubby guests-only hangout spots and seamless service (no check-in rituals or reaching for your wallet every five minutes) — still young at heart, but levelling up.

Our favourite rooms

Designer Hannes Peer hails from Milan and has brought the city’s peerlessly brazen styling to NYC. His portfolio is largely filled with beautiful homes, so even his most striking looks feel liveable (well, we wish that's how we live). Here, public spaces have stormy marbles, textured woods, carved columns and screens that look like cascades of costume jewellery; but rooms rock gotta-wear-shades hues of lipstick red, Yves Klein blue and sunshine yellow, with mirrored walls and deco cabinetry. Junior Suites and up have a private balcony and the Duplex Penthouse is a vast loft-style lady in red.

Packing tips

The hotel is TV-free, so if you don’t want to digital detox then bring some form of screen.

Also

To keep your workouts on track, you'll have access to Equinox Soho on Prince Street, a fitness center that's a 10-minute walk from the hotel.

Pet‐friendly

Dogs under 30 pounds are welcome. See more pet-friendly hotels in New York.

Children

Clubby and cool, this is for over-16s only, and you'll need to be at least 21 to check in.

Sustainability efforts

The hotel uses low-electricity HVAC climate control, recycles, shuns single-use plastics, all water is purified from the hotel’s tank, lighting is LED and Costa Brazil bath products are sustainably made.

Food and Drink

Top Table

The Apartment is so sartorially forward it feels like a cosy art gallery, especially by its obelisk of a ‘floating’ fireplace.

Dress Code

This isn’t more discreetly see-and-be-the-scene than its sibling stays, but this more grown-up hideout still has fashion standards to be met.

Hotel restaurant

As slick as its namesake animal — with a dollop of old-school charm as decadent as the caviar it serves — streetside eatery the Otter has mural-like patterns on its walls by Elvira Solana, terracotta booths to slip into and low-lit chandeliers. Chef Alex Stupak has crafted a seafood-driven menu that’s at once luxurious yet unpretentious, that will have lobster rolls or fish and chips, and steaks for good measure. 

Hotel bar

Green-and-gold, with yet more chandeliers, Sloane’s bar is attached to the Otter, and will have a celebratory feel and cocktails to keep moods lifted. Japanese-style, cherry-blossom-print screens hanging on the walls and hamachi-bowl snacks will give it a glamorous Asiatic edge. Upstairs, the lofty, guests-only Apartment is more of a members’ club, but no eyebrows are raised if you kick your shoes off or polish off a few nightcaps. With its avant-garde styling, industrial-style stained glass, sink-into sofas, and statement fireplace, it’s inviting at any time of day, but especially during complimentary aperitivo hour(s), from 5pm to 7pm. Come 2025, the Rooftop will offer penthouse-plus-one partying.

Last orders

Breakfast is from 7am till 11am, lunch from 11am till 4pm and dinner from 5pm till 11pm. Sloane’s cocktail shaker is on the go from 5pm till 2am.

Room service

There’s always a staff member on hand to wine or dine you — and in lieu of minibar minis, drinks are shaken and poured fresh.

Location

Address
The Manner
58 Thompson Street
New York City
10012
United States

The Manner sits in a lofty building on Thompson Street amid the cast-iron buildings, galleries and buzzy hotspots of Soho, Downtown NYC’s social butterfly.

Planes

Newark and LaGuardia airports are both around a 30-minute drive away on a good day; JFK is about an hour’s drive. Staff can help to arrange transfers on request.

Trains

The closest subway station is Spring Street, just around the corner, on the late-night A,C and E lines. Both Grand Central and Penn stations are a 20-minute taxi ride away; Amtrak stops at the latter, and staff can help arrange transport.

Automobiles

There’s no parking on-site; the closest is the charged Icon carpark at Varick Street, a five-minute walk away.

Worth getting out of bed for

New York’s Soho ‘hood thrums with creative energy, and has more art galleries than you can stroke your chin and go ‘hmm yes’ at. The Whitney, with its panoramic Hudson views is a 30-minute walk away; after looking around, stop at the Standard, High Line for a cocktail then stroll along the rest of the revamped railtrack. Closer to home there’s Leslie Lohman, the city’s most important collection of LGBTQ+ works; Eden’s modern Pop; ode to 20th-century design Cristina Grajales; the Judd Foundation, set in the artist’s former home; boundary-nudging Untitled Space… 

See the city’s past at the Tenement Museum or try to catch the mobile Soho Memory Project (who also offer GPS walking tours), and get a nostalgia hit at the original Ghostbusters HQ. The Museum of Chinese in America charts the — sometimes complex — relationship between the two countries; and more frivolous fun can be found at the highly Instagrammable Color Factory and bubblegum-pink Museum of Ice Cream. Soho has designer labels aplenty, but we like indie boutiques, such as Housing Works Bookstore or Clic, which doubles as a gallery; Senti Senti’s Asian beauty products; perfumery Fueguia 1833; What Goes Around Comes Around vintage; and don’t forget to swing by the MoMa Design Store.

Local restaurants

Bondst is an elevated sushi spot rather than a spy with a speech impediment, with elegant indoor-outdoor decor, and pan-Asian Indochine has pulled in the cool kids since Warhol’s crew rocked up in the 1980s. Buvette has tapped suppliers throughout the surrounding states to make French fare with the finest produce and pair it with a very well-considered wine list; and Palma is a made-with-love story from its Italo-Parisian owners. Or for your ‘old country’ fix, try NYC’s supposed first pizzeria: red-sauce, gingham-tablecloth spot Lombardi’s.

Local cafés

Grab a challah loaf or slice of Roman-style pizza pie at Grandaisy Bakery. Saturdays NYC is more of a shop-and-stop hangout where you can buy men’s indie labels and surf gear with a chai latte and everything bagel. And while the city never sleeps it eats at the Soho Diner, which stays open till 2am on Friday and Saturday.

Local bars

Spring Lounge feels delightfully dive-y, like dipping a toe into the Soho of a few decades back; while Mother’s Ruin is a chill cocktail spot with colourful characters (check out the ‘slushy du jour’). The Campbell is a sight more imposing, set in Grand Central Station in the former offices of a Jazz Age financier, with spectacular heritage architecture. And there’s yet more vintage elegance to be had at natural wine bar the Ten Bells.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this not-as-standard Standard-group hotel in Downtown New York City and unpacked their party gear and PJs, a full account of their discreet city retreat will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside the Manner in Soho…

Semantics matter at elegant new branch of the Standard hotel group, the Manner, an adults-only stay in a prime Soho spot opening this fall. It isn’t a misspelt nod to a grand noble residence, rather a seamless style of service, where you’re handed a key on arrival with no check-in faff, payment details are taken in advance to avoid awkward wallet-fumbling and all your likings are considered. So, rather than teatime with the Astors, you’ll take your fish and chips with a dollop of caviar in the Otter restaurant, kick off your shoes and curl up with a cocktail in the guests-only Apartment, have an as-you-like-it coffee handed to you — no need to ask — at breakfast. It’s informal but with a luxury sheen, given by Milanese designer Hannes Peer, who’s added mod-deco details, inlaid marble floors, exclamatory artwork, and colour bursts and mirrored walls in rooms. And, it might be of a more adult disposition, but the Standard’s sense of fun is in no way curbed.
