The Merchant Hotel LES was an awesome hotel stay! Great location close to the some of the hottest dinner and bar spots in downtown NYC. Easy walkability to the subway from Delancey-Essex stop. The hotel room was spacious, modern and updated, and impeccably clean. They also have a beautiful lobby, cafe, and restaurant/bar downstairs for guest. Would definitely stay again! Quiet and chic!

Wow! This place is a dream. We had a superior king room with city views and it was absolutely stunning. Pics don’t do it justice. The staff was wonderful, perfect location, and I can’t believe how good the rate was. The lobby design is incredible as well. All around well thought out aesthetics and excellent execution. Can’t wait to stay here again.

LOVED IT! Hotel, the location, the room, the staff, the downstairs bar (tended by Miguel), the ROOFTOP bar — everything was top drawer. And the price was right on the money. We have been bagging big hotels in favor of boutique hotels over the last few years — The Merchant is our new fave!

Super clean. Nice building. Good room (a little tight, but…it’s the LES). Heating was having troubles (quite cold out!). Power was not working to the mini fridge. Staff were great and attentive.
