Expert reviews
“The Ludlow is in the heart of the Lower East Side, one of the city’s most desirable areas for the hip and youthful set. The hotel wins high marks for its neighborhood feel and is a smart choice for travelers looking for an authentic sense of place away from the crowds.”
“One of New York’s best-loved boutique hotels, in the Lower East Side, with a heavy glug of 1970s cool thrown in for good measure. Rooms are comfy and there’s a fun American take on a French bistro, Dirty French, which is popular with locals.”

Fabulous location, great staff, great vibe and comfy rooms!
Super location to Soho etc. Fantastic service. Both day and night desk staff extremely friendly and anticipated travel requests. Loved using the rooftop gym which has a spectacular view of the city. Great vibe in main sitting area of hotel. Sheets in the room really soft and there were loads of towels! This is my new go to hotel in NYC. Bye by Mid-town.

Lively place for an adult getaway.
Nice, hip vibe. Decor was sophisticated—black, gold touches.
Bathroom counter was small.

Lovely, trendy hotel in a great location
The Ludlow is a fabulous hotel in a great location. We were on the 15th floor and room had an amazing view over the city. The bath was lovely and big and the water was very hot. Loved the dressing gowns and slippers. The staff were really friendly and very helpful. Top tip - book dinner at Dirty French as it’s great!
The living room area was quite dark. Thankfully you could ask for a lamp, which we did and it was so much better. There was also very little wardrobe space to hang up clothes and nowhere to store luggage out of sight.

Beautiful hotel in an excellent location with trendy, relaxed vibe!
Location Style Size Rooms Staff Lounge area
Lighting in room (Ludlow Loft smaller bedroom with no window). Lovely room but lighting could have been a bit brighter with a mirror in this part of the room. This is a very minor thing though. Rooms were lovely!

We had a fantastic time in NYC. We came with no agenda other than to have fun shop and eat welll. And it was perfect!!
Loved the location. The property itself was beautiful.
Our room was very small but that’s not the fault of anyone. We chose a smaller room. Just not realizing how small it was for two people.

Ludlow never disappoints - however it was ludicrously expensive compared to all my previous visits -
Location, best area in New York Love the Ludlow Room comfort
Room just too small to even have a suitcase open - no space to put any clothes so that was challenging You had to keep everything in a suitcase and open it on your bed everyday

Perfect Lower East Side Destination
The Ludlow has a very comfortable, cozy vibe. With the chilly weather we enjoyed lounging by the fireplace. Very nice room. Staff friendly. Great restaurant in Dirty French. Loved the Thanksgiving morning brunch. Nice fitness center with 20 story view of the city.
Room was comfortable, but a bit tight. Not unusual in the city.

We had the best time.
Great location, loved the decor and superb margaritas. We loved how many great bars, coffee shops delis etc where close by and the tube stops were super close too. Rooms were really clean and cleaned each day.
We liked everything! If I had to something, our room was a little on the small size so if you have big suitcases you might want to think about getting a bigger room but no major issue.

Great stay on the LES
Great location, nice furnishings, hip and happening place. For those so inclined, Katz Deli right across Ludlow. Great restaurants and bars in the area, always felt safe, even in the middle of the night returning from dancing.
As expected in NYC, very small room, which makes getting in and out of two suitcases very challenging. Elevator also slow.

Outshines 5-star hotels on service and food, great stay in the lower East side
Every single interaction with the staff at the Ludlow was 10/10. Always super responsive, even before we arrived. Better service than I've had in 5-star hotels – these folks are just consistently on the ball. Great location, tucked away on a street with loads of cool shops and restaurants – short walk to Soho/other cool areas. 24/7 room service serving actually amazing food. (Try the hummus and pita for a quick snack!)
Bed was a touch small for us (I'm 6'4" and we are used to a king size) but then we did book a queen so really can't complain. Thanks Ludlow team!
