Roger Smith Hotel - A family-owned boutique hotel with rooftop bar and art gallery in Midtown Manhattan

Located in Midtown West, the Roger Smith Hotel stands as a charming 3-star New York hotel that has maintained a distinct identity for more than 80 years under the same family ownership. The property features 130 individually decorated guest rooms designed with New England Country Home style, offering flexible configurations for solo travelers and families. Each elegant room provides cable TV, a coffee maker, refrigerator, and free WiFi, while certain accommodations include kitchenettes with microwaves. Henry's, the 16th-floor rooftop bar, offers an intimate speakeasy atmosphere with inspiring views of 47th Street and serves a curated selection of cocktails, beer, wine, and snacks. Art enthusiasts appreciate the Lab Gallery featuring rotating exhibitions from local to international artists, with metal relief sculptures by artist/owner James Knowles adorning the building's facade. The Roger Smith Hotel sits within walking distance of corporate headquarters, the United Nations, Chrysler Building, Grand Central Terminal, Rockefeller Center, and Times Square.

Pros

Five fully equipped meeting rooms are available, including one with a wraparound terrace and Chrysler Building views

The hotel hosts various art, fashion, film, music, and pop culture events and exhibitions on property

Value-added amenities include gym passes to New York Sports Club and complimentary yogurt, granola, and green apples as healthy snacks

Bathroom amenities by Beekman 1802 are provided in suites

Junior suites and one-bedroom suites can accommodate up to two adults and two children

Cons

The traditional decor with wall-to-wall carpeting, antique furniture, and neutral palette may not appeal to those seeking modern design

There's no dedicated on-site fitness center, only passes to a nearby facility

“It strikes me as a place where art and hospitality genuinely meet, with its unique Art Deco design and rotating exhibitions. That rooftop bar alone, with its Midtown views, makes it a worthy choice. It feels family-owned, a detail that perhaps explains the consistent, personalized guest experience.”
