The latest Freehand has recently opened in NYC’s Flatiron neighborhood. It will take over the former George Washington Hotel, which has a history as a home for creatives. That legacy will live on in The Freehand Fellowship: the hotel is launching a program in partnership with Live Arts Bard of Bard College, where selected artists will get the chance to live and work at the property and play an active part in its arts and cultural program. As with all Freehands, food and beverage is of the utmost importance. The restaurant and lobby bar here will be headed by West Village restaurateur Gabriel Stulman’s Happy Cooking Hospitality. Freehand New York will also get an outpost of Noho café, The Smile, and of course, a Broken Shaker bar.

Location was great as was the staff. Lighting in the room was absolutely awful for apply makeup or stayling hair. Bathroom sink was so small that when you washed your face the water was all over the floor.

The title says it all. The smallest room I've ever stayed in and not much in the way of amenities. I might have missed it, which is doubtful given the size of the room, but I didn't find even glasses or cups to drink from. On the plus side, the staff were generally nice and the location was good.

I’d like to, but I can’t think of anything. Mine was a postage stamp-sized, hobbit hole-inspired room — I’m 5’10”, and I could touch the ceiling without fully extending my arm. Anyone 6’4” or more would’ve had to hunch over to enter the room. Other hotel chains with ‘cozy’ room sizes (rhymes with ‘squad’) make intelligent use of available space with clever and ingenious design choices. No such luck here. Nowhere to hang clothes; nowhere to put clothes; a mini-fridge so mini it would barely hold anything larger than a stick of butter. Not even so much as a plastic cup for the likewise minuscule bathroom sink.
