4-star boutique hotel with historic charm on the Upper West Side
Location & Neighborhood
The Arthouse Hotel sits 650 meters from Central Park and 500 meters from the American Museum of Natural History, placing guests steps from two of New York's most visited attractions. Lincoln Center and the Beacon Theatre are within a 5-minute walk, at 162 meters from the hotel entrance. Subway access is close by, making travel to Midtown and downtown Manhattan direct and convenient.
Rooms & Design
Each guest room includes a flat-screen TV, a desk, and an in-room safe large enough for a laptop. Some rooms offer private balconies overlooking Broadway or the neighborhood. The century-old building retains its original 1920s elevator system and a lobby fireplace, with custom artwork displayed throughout the hotel.
Dining & Entertainment
Serafina Bar & Restaurant serves Northern Italian cuisine, while RedFarm offers Chinese fare from the same lobby. The Arthouse Bar is styled like a speakeasy and Harlem music club, with live music performances several evenings each week. Guests can also enjoy a lobby library and a coffee bar for breakfast pastries and espresso drinks.
Amenities & Services
A 24-hour fitness center is available for guest use, along with outdoor terraces on the 14th and 16th floors that offer city skyline and Hudson River views. The hotel provides evening entertainment and happy hours, plus bike rentals for exploring the neighborhood. Business travelers have access to a business center, fax/photocopying, and meeting spaces.
Pet & Family-Friendly Policies
The hotel welcomes pets and provides pet bowls and dedicated amenities for four-legged guests. Families benefit from board games and puzzles available in the lobby, plus family rooms with multiple beds (some rooms can sleep up to 6). A 24-hour front desk, luggage storage, and late check-out options make extended stays straightforward.
