The New York City Traveler

If you ever find yourself walking around the neighborhoods of Tribeca, you may notice an unmarked brick building on the triangular plot of land where Sixth Avenue meets Church Street. There will be a friendly door man stationed outside the entrance, but you will see nothing more. Who would think that the understated building is considered the home-away-from-home to half of Hollywood and Wall Street moguls alike… it is the Tribeca Grand Hotel.

The eight-floor, 203 room Tribeca Grand Hotel is one of the most exclusive hotels in Lower Manhattan. Superior king rooms start at $399 per night and suites (including the two-bedroom suite) can easily reach $1300 per night.

So, what does the minimum of $400 get you at the Tribeca Grand Hotel? All guest rooms are outfitted with iPods, Bose Sound Docks, Power Books, a DVD player, Radio/CD player, a specially-selected CD library, personal safes, and toiletries from the beauty line Malin+Goetz. There is also a 24-hour fitness center and wireless high-speed Internet throughout the hotel.

Tribeca Grand is one of the newest hotels that will cater to the pet owner. Upon request, guest rooms can be set up with a pet bed, food and water bowls, and treats. The hotel can arrange for pet sitting, dog walking, and a pet spa. The hotel even offers a special pet food menu which is available through room service! If you didn’t bring your own pet, the Tribeca Grand will be happy to loan you one. Upon request, you have may have a pet goldfish delivered to your room for companionship during your stay.

If you can’t justify spending the money for a night in the hotel, but you still want to experience the exclusivity of the Tribeca Grand, drop by Chruch Lounge @ Tribeca Grand Hotel. The lounge offers a selection of food and drinks and is located beneath hotel’s center atrium. During the warmer months, the 30-seat outdoor dining area is opened.

Tribeca Grand Hotel is located at 2 Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) in Lower Manhattan (map).
