Gayot
"This 1913 Edwardian hotel near Union Square is full of century-old nostalgia, such as claw-foot tubs, a bird cage elevator and antique furniture."

"Hosts John and Renate run the friendliest hotel in town (more of a B&B really): a 4-story 1913 Edwardian charmer that’s bedecked with antiques, wicker and old photographs."
