If individuality is your thing, The Greenwich Hotel should be your auberge of choice. Each of the 88 guest rooms is unique, adorned with global influences such as Parisian antiques, Moroccan tilework, Tibetan rugs and repurposed Japanese lumber. The brainchild of actor/director Robert De Niro, this boutique property is yet another resplendent addition to the ever-expanding Tribeca neighborhood. The 2,000-square-foot Greenwich Suite is a worthy splurge with 30-foot skylit windows, two master bedrooms and a wood-burning stone fireplace. Don’t forgo a trip to the sublevel Shibui Spa; it may be your one opportunity to relax under a 250-year-old Japanese wooden farmhouse and lantern-lit swimming pool. Be sure to check out the artwork in the lobby, drawing room and hallways as they are all by the late Robert De Niro, Sr. For a good gauge of the neighborhood, snag a sidewalk table at Locanda Verde and watch the locals sashay by.
