Editorial take

Who should book Arthouse Hotel New York City?

If this is your first New York trip, shortlist Arthouse Hotel New York City for a practical reason: Families, museums, space, calmer evenings. The name, star rating and lobby photos matter, but the real test is whether the location helps your days feel easier.

It is less compelling if you want a midtown base or luxury service. Before booking from the UK, compare the final price after taxes and property fees, check the exact room setup and make sure your airport arrival route is not needlessly awkward.

First-timer context

Why Arthouse Hotel New York City might feel special.

What it is known for

  • Standard rooms run to around 240 square feet and deluxe rooms to roughly 280, which is generous for a boutique hotel at this price.
  • Deluxe rooms with two double beds sleep up to four, making it one of the more workable Upper West Side options for a family.
  • The hotel traded as NYLO NYC before its rebrand, so older reviews and listings appear under that name.

New York moments

  • The hotel sits on the same Broadway block as the Belleclaire, in the stretch of the Upper West Side between the Natural History Museum and the Beacon Theatre.

On screen

  • A modern boutique with no screen history; judge it on room size and location.

Review questions

What travellers keep asking.

Is this the hotel formerly called NYLO?

Yes. The same building on Broadway at 77th Street traded as NYLO NYC before rebranding as the Arthouse, so reviews under the old name refer to this hotel.

Can a family of four stay in one room?

The deluxe rooms with two double beds are listed for up to four people. Confirm occupancy and bed configuration when booking, as New York rooms are smaller than UK families often expect.

Booking checklist

Check these before you reserve.

Total price

Look beyond the nightly rate. Check taxes, destination fees, breakfast and cancellation.

Room layout

For New York, room size, bathroom privacy, bed type and storage can matter more than star rating.

Arrival route

Match the hotel to your airport, luggage and arrival time, especially after an overnight UK flight.
