Located in Manhattan’s Lower East Side, the Hotel Blue Moon offers guests modern conveniences coupled with historic charm. Originally used as tenement housing in the late 19th century and early 20th century, owner Randy Settenbrino began renovations on the property in 2000. The Hotel Blue Moon opened its doors in 2006 and continues to be a popular choice among NYC tourists, artistic patrons, and business professionals. The Hotel Blue Moon offers guests the opportunity to stay in rooms double the size of those typically offered in the city. Throughout the 22-room building, visitors can appreciate the ambiance created by the authentic artifacts recovered during the renovation process. Each room, ranging in size from 320 to 750 square feet, features 10- to 14-foot ceilings. More than half the rooms have terraces. All rooms come with a flat-screen television, cable, wireless Internet service, DVD player, and refrigerator with mini bar, among other features. While there’s much to see within its doors, the building’s location makes it a prime spot for exploring what NYC has to offer. Some of the city’s most popular restaurants are within walking distance from Hotel Blue Moon, such as Casa Mezcal, Congee Village, Il Cortile, and Balthazar Restaurant. Additionally, the hotel is surrounded by some of the most well-known areas to explore in the city, including Greenwich Village, SoHo, East Village, Little Italy, and Chinatown. Innumerable museums, clubs, and NYC tourist attractions are nearby as well. With its early 20th-century design, modern offerings, and prime location, it is not a surprise that Hotel Blue Moon appears regularly in the media. The Los Angeles Times, Bloomberg, Food & Wine, Travel + Leisure, and the International Herald Tribune have all featured the hotel in their publications.
