Dream Downtown | Midtown, New York | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Midtown, New York

4 stars

The designers at Dream Downtown had fun when they transformed this 1960s’ National Maritime Union building, opposite Chelsea Market and near the Meatpacking District. In a nod to its past, the gritty steel shell features super-sized portholes, while inside it takes you around the globe. You visit Mexico in the tequila barrel wall and upscale menu of Bodega Negra. You visit ‘Cool Britannia’ in the underground Electric Room, with its Banksy-inspired graffiti. And you return to NYC with the penthouse parties at PHD Rooftop Lounge and the lobby’s huge Stars and Stripes flag made from beer cans, which sits below the glass-bottomed pool.

“Not a dream - but not a nightmare either”

Sep 15, 2025Nancy G

Location is great - the staff is gracious - the rooms are VERY small and quite dusty. Just not my idea of "DREAMY" - more like being on a cruise ship with the port window and just very tight quarters.

“Mistakenly charged for bottled water which brings a lot of trouble.”

Sep 14, 2025Hao Z

The fridge is full of waters which are not free and leave no room for my own water. I moved some of the waters from the hotel and put my own water into the fridge. Then I was charged for two bottles of water. During I checked out, I told the front desk about this and they promised to refund me and gave me a new receipt. However, after two days, no refund and no new receipt were sent to me. Even my stay information disappeared from my Hyatt account. I am on a business trip and accurate receipt is needed to get the reimbursement. This brings me a lot of trouble. The customer service is also bad, it took them nearly one hour just to find my reservation information. Until now, I still don't know whether I could get the refund correctly.

“Favorite NYC hotel”

Sep 14, 2025Devin B

Dream Downtown is the only place I’ll stay in New York. I’ve been coming here for years on business and recently spent four days with my son in August—always a great experience. The hotel is stylish inside and out, with a perfect location near Chelsea Market and the High Line. Rooms are a good size, and every staff member I’ve met has been outstanding. Special mention to Irtiza Durraze, who I always dealt with as hotel manager—he was amazing. I believe he’s since been promoted to the accounting team, so I don’t see him up front anymore, but the service across the board remains excellent.
