Two stylish hoteliers breathe new life into Manhattan's once desolate Bowery. A dazzling new building for the New Museum of Contemporary Art is opening a few blocks away later this year. Brought to you by Sean MacPherson and Eric Goode, known for Manhattan restaurants and a hotel (the Maritime) with serious staying power. Entering the lobby is like stepping into a pre-Raphaelite painting: a Gothic fireplace, Oriental rugs over a Moroccan-tile floor. Rooms are pure vintage-repro, down to the patinated fittings on the marble washstands. Ask for one of the seven rooms with private terraces found on floors six, seven, and fourteen; all seven feature outdoor showers. For a truly spectacular view, request a room that overlooks the rooftops of the East Village and the Lower East Side. 335 Bowery; 212/505-9100; www.theboweryhotel.com; doubles from $375.
