We payed $ 2000 for four nights. But it was all worth it !! Highly recommend The James. Absolutly loved it. Staff is supernice, the rooftop bar(Jimmy) is one of the hottest spots in town. Location could not be better.

My wife and I stayed for Memorial Day weekend and had a fantastic stay. The hotel is well situated - it is a couple of blocks from the center of Soho, the riverfront Westway Park and promenade and a short, pleasant walk to Chinatown and the Financial District. The hotel is new and rooms are modern, well designed and furnished.... More

We loved this hotel -- they even called before we arrived to see if we needed anything during our stay. We stayed just one night but every detail was perfect. The staff struck just the right balance of being attentive without being over-the-top. The doormen, Michael and Eric, took great care of us and the front desk staff were super... More

The James Hotel is a great location close to subways, restaurants and shops. We have traveled to NYC many times before and mostly stayed in the midtown area. We LOVED being in Soho where it was much more quaint, less touristy and a great selection of restaurants and places to shop. We also had traveled with our four year old... More

We had the first few nights of our honeymoon at the James in Soho and it was amazing. We had a room on the 16th floor with great views. The staff were really helpful for everything we asked of them. Couldn't have picked a better hotel.

We picked this hotel due to its location to Soho/Tribeca/West Village and weren't disappointed. Location is just across from the subway and on the vibrant Grand Street which offers a wide range of eateries and boutique shops off from there. We booked a corner room and paid extra for a higher floor (we got the top floor). Positives: Good sized... More

Stayed there for 2 nights, great location, very clean and a modern feel to it. The staff was friendly as well. Only weird thing was the lack of a proper lobby. Don't expect to swim on the rooftop pool, it's tiny but great bar in the evening!
