The Bar/Lounge at The Maritime Hotel

"There are two distinct spaces: the barroom, with a long marble bar where tapas and cocktails are served, and the more formal dining room where multi-course meals are served"

"This hip and happening place has rooms that are small but well designed, and several restaurants and bars, including the noted Matsuri"

"The hotel’s busy Italian restaurant, La Bottega, also supplies room service, and the adjoining bar hosts a crowd of models and mortals, who throng the umbrella-lined patio in warmer weather"

"The rooms have the feel of a fun and funky cruise ship cabin, and they are fully equipped with mini-bars, wireless Internet access and flat-screen TVs"

"Studded with porthole windows, upscale Japanese and rustic Italian restaurant, sweeping patio, palmy cocktail deck, booming nightclub, not to mention assorted scenesters, preps, and barely legal Russian tennis phenoms"

""For business or personal travel", even landlubbers insist the "nautical theme" "adds character without being over-the-top" at this "unique", "trendy" boutique, tucked in a "convenient" location between Chelsea and the Meatpacking District, and featuring "professional", "accommodating" service; "well-appointed" quarters are "comfortable" "if a bit small" (the "porthole-shaped" windows "add something special"), and with "great" on-site eats and a "wonderful" patio bar, wallet-watchers rave it's "reasonably priced for NYC"

"The bathrooms, though not much bigger than a phone booth, are surprisingly sybaritic thanks to a ceiling-mounted showerhead the size of a pie plate"

"This fresh eatery will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, and during the warmer months, the newly-renovated restaurant will feature a large patio with plenty of alfresco seating, while the open-air bar on the restaurant’s roof will be a fun, hip choice for cocktails before or after dinner"

"Elsewhere are two-toned leather chairs exclusively created in Italy by Luca Pascolini of San Giorgio Export, brass chandeliers, sculpted leather bar stools, and acoustic panels wrapped in patterned linen from Kravet designed by Jonathan Adler"

"The hotel has a chic basement level nightclub and an Italian trattoria with a tapas bar and a Michelin-starred dinner menu"
