Situated near New York University and Washington Square Park, the charming neighborhood is home to students, Bohemians, artists, professionals and the Washington Square Hotel.

Bohemians to Rockers at the Washington Square Hotel

Built in 1902 and originally named the Hotel Earle, the Washington Square Hotel has been a haven for actors, writers and musicians. Legends such as Ernest Hemingway, Bob Dylan, Barbra Streisand, Bill Cosby, Joan Baez and the B-52’s have bedded down at the Washington Square Hotel. Today, the family-owned Washington Square Hotel hosts guests from the United States and abroad

I found myself in New York attending a TBEX travel bloggers conference. A native San Franciscan, the New York summer humidity caught me by surprise. Upon arrival to Greenwich Village, I stopped by the 150 room hotel in the early morning to drop my bag. To my delight, the welcoming front desk staff informed me that my deluxe queen room, $275, was available before 3 p.m. check in.

A welcoming blast of cool air greeted me in room #122. My previous night stay at the Larchmont Hotel also had air conditioning. The $150 step up in price at the Washington Square Hotel gave me my own bathroom, in room complimentary high speed Internet, access to a business center, fitness room, laundry services (for an extra fee) and an excellent full breakfast at the North Square Restaurant.
