The Frederick Hotel

The Frederick Hotel

Chambers Street meets West Broadway in the heart of Tribeca's historic landmark district, and The Frederick Hotel occupies a building there that dates to 1845. The 129-room hotel, a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World, is spread across seven floors, and its rooms mix historic charm with a modern renovation: Frette linens, bathrobes and slippers, air conditioning, blackout blinds, hypoallergenic bedding. Sizes range from a 172-square-foot Standard Double to a 300-square-foot Junior King Suite, several with soundproofing, which matters this close to the action. Wall Street, the National September 11 Memorial, Soho, Chinatown, Little Italy and Greenwich Village are all within walking distance, and Midtown is a 15-minute subway ride. Serafina, the hotel's restaurant, serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and will send meals up to the room; there's also a fitness center, a concierge desk, and staff who work in seven languages, including Korean and Polish, alongside English. Pets are welcome for a flat $159 per stay, parking costs $65 a day, and an extra breakfast runs $18.95 per person beyond what's included. This suits a guest who wants a landmarked block of Tribeca outside the door, and who would rather walk to the Financial District than be driven there. It won't suit anyone chasing a rooftop pool or a brand-new tower; there isn't one here, and the rooms are sized for a building from 1845, not a skyscraper. What sets The Frederick apart from its Tribeca neighbors is straightforward: the building itself, standing on that same corner since 1845. The Frederick Hotel occupies an 1845 building at Chambers Street and West Broadway in Tribeca, 129 rooms strong and part of Small Luxury Hotels of the World. It suits walkers headed for Wall Street and Soho, not anyone wanting a rooftop pool.
