I needn't go into detail about the design achievements or the avant garde clientele that make this hotel the preeminent destination in its category in the city--other reviewers have covered that sufficiently. Rather, I would like to note two things: 1. It's the people that make this hotel work. Design is nothing without service and the service here is top... More

I used to live in NYC for 6 years, but recently I'm keep coming back on a bi-monthly / quarterly basis due to business. Usually I'm staying at the hotels of the W chain, but this time I made the mistake to give a try to Dream Downtown. I love the area (bars, restaurants, clubs) so this was the main... More

I was hesitant to book this hotel after reading some of the bad reviews on Tripadvisor. I am so glad to have stayed there. The location is just perfect in the most charming area of NewYork; 2 minute walk to Chelsea market, great restaurants, bars, shopping. And the hotel facilities are awesome; spacious quiet rooms, and I never thought a... More

Dream is my new go-to for meatpacking hotels, completely usurping the competition and easily beating out my former fav, Gansevoort. From the moment we pulled up, we noticed the difference. At this hotel, the hotel guest comes first. Bellman was efficient and professional, front desk equally so. I asked for ice from front desk, it was at my room before... More

My girlfriend and I came down for the weekend and could not have been more pleased with our stay. We were looking for a hip and happening place to stay and that's exactly what we got. The room was amazing. Super comfy bed and a modern room that was top notch all the way around. We forgot toothpaste and before... More

Perfect location, the beds were super comfortable. The stereo speakers In the bathroom were really cool and the room had a fantastic shower. Easy access to the metro and taxis are easily accessible. The pool is brilliant and the staff is very kind and helpful. Worth every penny, I'll definitely be coming back!

After first finding this chic boutique hotel about a year ago couldn't wait for return stay - not disappointed! Everything just as cool as the first time, great design, attentive staff and beautiful people! Great location within easy walking distance of lots of cool bars and restaurants. The 2 rooms I have had though compact are well appointed but would... More

The Dream Downtown provided a fantastic, lively and classy experience. The property is amazing with incredible attention to detail and some amazing night life. The rooftop - Phd is unreal... By the looks of the beautiful people lining up outside, the club in the hotel is of the hottest in NYC. Overall, we truly enjoyed staying here for four nights.... More

Upon arrival you can't help but be impressed with the interior design. Beautiful lobby with a swimming pool above you. Obviously this is a place for young trendy people busy being beautiful. Reception were extremely helpful, doormen more than happy to help and the room was impressive and different. The only reason I gave this a 4 is the roof... More

Stayed at the Dream recently and was pleasantly surprised by the ambiance and atmosphere at the hotel. Very hip and cool with a perpetual buzz around the hotel especially in the evenings. The food at the Marble Lane in the lobby was great and so were the drinks. The rooms are modern, with a cool view to the pool, which... More
