What Blue Moon Hotel actually is

The Blue Moon occupies an 1879 tenement building on Orchard Street that was restored rather than gutted — the original stair rails, mouldings and window frames were kept where possible, and the rooms are named after performers and figures from the neighbourhood's immigrant history.

It is small, family-run in feel, and considerably more characterful than anything at its price point in Manhattan. Rooms are simply furnished in period style with high ceilings. The Tenement Museum is around the corner, and the bars and restaurants of the Lower East Side are all within a few minutes' walk.

Where it sits

Tenement history on one block and a natural-wine bar on the next. The LES has the highest concentration of late-night rooms in Manhattan and hotel rates that undercut Midtown.
