The Manner, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt

The five-star tower on Thompson Street, The Manner, The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, rises above SoHo's cast-iron warehouse blocks two blocks from the Prince Street subway stop and a five-minute walk to Washington Square Park — a fit for design-minded travelers wanting boutique scale with full-service backup.

Rooms carry a residential layout with kitchenettes in select suites, unusual for the neighborhood's mostly closet-sized inventory. The rooftop bar overlooks Lower Manhattan rather than Midtown, a different skyline than most SoHo properties offer.

Thompson Street itself stays quieter than nearby Broadway, buffering guests from retail foot traffic while keeping galleries and Dominique Ansel's bakery within blocks.
