Fodor's Expert Review The Modernist Hotel

Sun-streaked, spacious rooms define this new art-centric boutique hotel in the formerly industrial enclave of Long Island City known as Dutch Kills. The queen deluxe rooms are larger than most NYC studios, and come outfitted with stylish, modernist-inspired furnishings, a kitchenette, and a Juliet balcony. Half the rooms have outdoor spaces and since it’s family-built, owned, and designed, there’s an intimate warmth to the intentionally curated rooms. There’s also a small on-site fitness center, work space, and an art gallery furnished with plush sculptural chairs on the ground floor, which doubles as an event space and features the work of local artists.
