Beautiful hotel with lots of things going on. I enjoyed the pool this time and the unbelievable bar on the roof. The beds are excellent with very soft linen - all of us commented on this. The hotel staff are friendly and professional. Great location.

I needn't go into detail about the design achievements or the avant garde clientele that make this hotel the preeminent destination in its category in the city--other reviewers have covered that sufficiently. Rather, I would like to note two things: 1. It's the people that make this hotel work. Design is nothing without service and the service here is top... More

I used to live in NYC for 6 years, but recently I'm keep coming back on a bi-monthly / quarterly basis due to business. Usually I'm staying at the hotels of the W chain, but this time I made the mistake to give a try to Dream Downtown. I love the area (bars, restaurants, clubs) so this was the main... More

I was hesitant to book this hotel after reading some of the bad reviews on Tripadvisor. I am so glad to have stayed there. The location is just perfect in the most charming area of NewYork; 2 minute walk to Chelsea market, great restaurants, bars, shopping. And the hotel facilities are awesome; spacious quiet rooms, and I never thought a... More

Dream is my new go-to for meatpacking hotels, completely usurping the competition and easily beating out my former fav, Gansevoort. From the moment we pulled up, we noticed the difference. At this hotel, the hotel guest comes first. Bellman was efficient and professional, front desk equally so. I asked for ice from front desk, it was at my room before... More

Perfect location, the beds were super comfortable. The stereo speakers In the bathroom were really cool and the room had a fantastic shower. Easy access to the metro and taxis are easily accessible. The pool is brilliant and the staff is very kind and helpful. Worth every penny, I'll definitely be coming back!

The Dream Downtown provided a fantastic, lively and classy experience. The property is amazing with incredible attention to detail and some amazing night life. The rooftop - Phd is unreal... By the looks of the beautiful people lining up outside, the club in the hotel is of the hottest in NYC. Overall, we truly enjoyed staying here for four nights.... More
