Heraled Square Hotel

The website is www.heraldsquarehotel.com. Dating back to 1893, it’s an affordable boutique hotel, owned by the Puchall family, not by a chain. Its 100 luxuriously appointed rooms boast the same luxuries found in hotels with rooms costing over $500 a night. Marble baths, free high-speed internet access, flat-screen television, Charles P. Rogers brass beds, finest linens and mattresses.

Absolute cleanliness and security. Except here you pay just $200 a night–a savings of over $300 a night. Originally the home of the old Life Magazine and the birthplace of the Gibson Girl, Abe Puchall, owner/manager has lovingly restored the building to its former glory. It’s a living museum with old Life covers adorning the walls and memorabilia of the 1890s. It’s been voted the best budget hotel in New York for seven years in a row by both City Search and Trip Adviser.
