My husband and I stayed in the Deluxe Studio, which is up a couple of flights of stairs (approximately 45 stairs). The Deluxe Studio is spacious, almost cavernous….lol. It’s a lovely light and airy space with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The double glazed windows look out to 5th Avenue, and it is not noisy at all. In... More

We were more than happy to stay at the Contempo Design suites rather than in a more expensive hotel for, in many cases, less service. We had the one bedroom suite, ideal for a couple. The living area has a kitchenette with fridge and freezer, microwave oven, electric stove, toaster, electric kettle. The Contempo team are kind enough to provide... More

Contempo Design Suites is in an excellent location on Fifth Avenue at 13th Street East, well-situated in Greenwich Village for exploring the various other areas of lower Manhattan: West Village, Tribeca, Lower East Side and so on are all within fairly short walking distance. It is also close to Union Square, with its farmers market, and has some very good... More

After "outgrowing" our previous accommodation in New York, I was determined to find a new place for my husband and I on my 11th trip to New York. Contempo ticked all the boxes: location (Union Square, a fantastic base), comfort, amenities, cleanliness and service. Our suite had the rare treat of a functioning kitchenette, and we were given the use... More

I booked here after the place I'd booked (the excellent East Village Bed and Coffee) was affected by the hurricane and had to cancel bookings. I wanted to stay downtown and have some space, and this place was perfect. I stayed in the one-bedroom suite. The bedroom is separate and fairly large, with a mega-comfy queen-size bed, hanging and shelf... More

We spent 6 days here late July in the family suite on the third floor. Thanks Maria for your warm welcome. Good room service. Big apartment, well equipped. Bathroom is a little tiny. Main bed / living room was huge. Why isn't there a sofa to sit and relax? There is plenty of space for it. Beds are comfy. AC... More

My partner and I were fortunate enough to stay in 2 different rooms at the Contempo Design Suites; the studio suite and the one bedroom suite. Both rooms are very stylishly decorated, with fresh, vibrant colours and quality furnishings. The beds are absolutely enormous and extremely comfortable, and the suites are very quiet indeed, so you can get a really... More

My daughter and I spent 5 days at Contempo in August. We were impressed by the roomy studio suite, nice bathroom and shower, and kitchenette. There was at least twice as much space as the typical NYC hotel room. We had room enough to walk around and feel as comfortable as home. The room was quiet (we had the Studio... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
We are designers that restored bits and pieces, decorated and furnished most of this typical turn-of-the-century Village building now we call home. Our aim was to create a tranquil yet ultimately hip urban hideaway that fuses comfort with originality. The design ideas were inspired by the unique urban architectural style of the surrounding neighborhoods where classic and modern mix in a fantastic diversity. Located at the northwestern end of Greenwich Village and in the very heart of Manhattan, this is an awesome spot to live at as well as a perfect base for sightseeing. A few steps from Union Square, historic Washington Square Park, four major subway lines; within walking distance to Midtown, the Meatpacking and Soho - this location simply cannot be beat! ... more   less
