If you’ve ever dreamt of arriving in New York City and being whisked to your own exclusive-feeling Soho loft like a celebrity eluding the paparazzi or a fashionista in the city to hit the runway at Fashion Week, now is your chance. Touch down in the Big Apple and head to The Mercer, Soho’s foremost luxury hotel, located on a prime corner of this trendy neighborhood, only a few blocks from Washington Square Park.

The Mercer’s 74 rooms sit in a six-floor Romanesque-revival building on a prime corner in Soho, and it is low-key and stylish enough that it doesn’t even have a sign out front. It is perfect for any visitor to the city who is looking for something hip and exciting. In the evenings, it is one of the best spots in the city for people-watching. Sister hotel to Hollywood's iconic Chateau Marmont, The Mercer oozes elegance, subtlety, and intimacy.

Choose Your Loft

Whether you choose a guest room or a larger suite, all accommodations at The Mercer are purposefully designed to look and feel like a Soho loft. Courtyard rooms are like miniature lofts, at 250 square feet. Studios, particularly Loft Studios, bridge the gap between guest rooms and suites and even feature small kitchenettes. The largest suites are truly loft-like, measuring up to around 1,400 square feet.

As you’d expect in your very own loft, rooms feature high ceilings and large windows that open and let in the abundance of natural light. The feel of the rooms is at once soothing and modernist, featuring calming, subtle color palettes. Relax on plush sofas and cushioned benches, and take a selfie any influencer would envy in the full-length mirrors. The majority of the accommodations at The Mercer feature oversized marble bathtubs and lavish open-plan baths, with even the smallest of guest rooms enjoying lush walk-in showers.

What’s on the Menu?

From the swanky lobby, head downstairs to The Mercer Kitchen, an open and informal 200-seater restaurant that takes up two levels of the hotel. World-renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten is at the restaurant’s helm serving up American Provencal cuisine with Asian leanings.

The restaurant’s atmosphere will make you feel as though you’re dining in a family kitchen, an illusion aided by the communal dining tables and a spacious, open-plan kitchen. Along with the main restaurant, there is also a street-level café where you’ll enjoy your breakfast. The dining room lies beneath Soho’s signature cast iron and glass sidewalks and features original brick walls, rich wenge-wood furnishings, and a bar seating area.  


Perhaps you’re thinking of escaping to New York for Thanksgiving or during the festive season for a bit of shopping. Maybe you’re thinking ahead to next spring or summer. Whatever the date, a stay at The Mercer is sure to bring a hip yet sophisticated vibe to your adventure in the City that Never Sleeps, and our fabulous relationship with The Mercer means that Poe Travel can make sure you get the rockstar treatment from beginning to end.
