Visitors to hectic cities like New York want to be in the middle of everything while being able to shut out the hustle and bustle when exhausted from sightseeing or even a little homesick for small towns; the Hotel Americano provides that and more.
Situated at one of New York's most active gallery streets by day and vibrant club scenes by night on West 27th Street, Hotel Americano would seem like a place for young 20-somethings looking for a bit of culture and a lot of partying. Nevertheless, Hotel Americano sports a stainless steel mesh screen that acts as a much needed buffer from all of that activity.
The 56-room Hotel Americana is a small community itself with its own club, restaurant, pool, garden and more.
