What Boro Hotel actually is
Boro Hotel is a poured-concrete and glass building in Long Island City, ten to fifteen feet of ceiling height in most rooms and floor-to-ceiling windows facing west toward Midtown. The design is genuinely austere — polished concrete, walnut, no ornament — and the rates are a fraction of the equivalent in Manhattan.
The rooftop terrace has one of the cleanest Manhattan panoramas anywhere in the city, and the Court Square subway station is a five-minute walk, putting Grand Central seven minutes away on the 7 train.
What stands out
- 01 Floor-to-ceiling glass with Manhattan skyline views
- 02 Rooftop terrace with an unobstructed Midtown panorama
- 03 Ceilings of ten to fifteen feet in most rooms
