QUESTION: My husband and I are to spend five days in New York in May. We would prefer to stay in a small, boutique hotel which offers a more personal service that the big chain hotel groups. We would be very grateful if you could recommend some options in the $200 price bracket? - Denise Greyvenstein
ANSWERS: There are plenty of new boutique hotels springing up all over Manhattan. Here are three hotels that may meet your requirements. 102Brownstone (102 west 118th street) offers private studio apartments and suites, all with fully-equipped kitchens, internet access and DVD players. Stylish, yet homely, the rooms are decorated in different styles, with some even
featuring jacuzzi tubs. A bargain at rates from $175-$275. Tel: (212) 662 4223. Hotel Le Bleu (370 Fourth Avenue, Brooklyn). One of the first hotels to move into this rapidly-gentrifying area, it offers spacious rooms and close proximity to the subway into central Manhattan. The cool colours and stark furnishings have a Miami South Beach feel, making it a refreshing hideaway in this busy city. From $189. Tel: (718) 625 1500. Hotel 373 (373 Fifth Avenue) offers a comfortable base in a great location - close to the Empire State Building and many of the tourist attractions. Rooms are small, but equipped with flat screen LCD TVs with 150 channels and nine free movies, wi-fi internet access and iPod docks. A bonus is the Starbucks outlet in the foyer. Room from $229. Tel: (212) 213 3388.
