Carlton Arms Hotel --
Artistic Eccentricity at Affordable Rates
100 bucks for a double room in New York City? No way, by no means, of course not. Forget it. Or check in at the Carlton Arms Hotel, that’s where you get it – plus a unique experience on top…
Started in the 80s as an art project, each of the 54 rooms as well as the hallways are individually designed by painters – according to their personal taste, fantasies, fears or nightmares. While some rooms exude a touch of affectionate passion for colours, other stun and repel in their openness. But no need to worry: usually, guests can take a look at various rooms before choosing – and there is something for every taste.
The location is right on: Manhattan East Side, on the corner of the 3rd Avenue and 25th Street, four blocks from the next subway station in an easy neighbourhood – what more does one need in New York? But still, it is a big and loud city in the mornings, so when you want to sleep late: take your earplugs.
And the prices are unbeatable: US$115 for a double with bath (no breakfast), going up to US$130 after October 1st. No frill, no thrills, straightforward budget accommodation. Full stop. With every room being absolutely unique – what more can one ask for in New York?
