When on the lookout for a perfect boutique hotel in New York, there are some fantastic options for the most discerning traveler.  New York City is certainly one of the most interesting cities in the world (if not the most interesting), and has a long history of hospitality.  There are many people who pass through the Big Apple, tourists and artists and intellectuals and entrepreneurs, making it perhaps the most visited place on the planet.  There are also a veritable feast of professionals who make it their home.  One would expect, then, that the hotels would be first-rate.  Our boutique hotels offer an array of options for the hippest travelers, looking for something special and unique in a market flooded with accommodations.  Our hotels feature some of the most impressive designs with an enormously well-developed sense of style.  Guests will be treated to some of the most sumptuous lodgings available.

Of all the famous people who pass through New York, the writers and poets seem to have a knack for immortalizing their experiences in words.  The same can be said of thousands of musicians who have found themselves enchanted by the city.  Tom Waits is an artist who is both a musician and a poet, and his time in New York haunts his listeners.  Tom Waits was born in California, and grew up in Los Angeles.  He developed a following there, where his fans were mesmerized by his gravelly voice and remarkable ability to tell a story with literary genius and an enormous sense of humor.  As his work began to circulate, his popularity grew, and people all over the world became fans.

His move to New York with his wife Kathleen Brennan was pivotal in deepening his poetic vision of the world.  Some of his most heartfelt work was forged in the fires here, where he painted visions of loss and longing in song.  Part of this experience formed the backbone of one of his musical masterpieces, “Frank’s Wild Years.”  Directed by Gary Sinese, it was originally a Chicago production at Sinese’s Steppenwolf Theatre, before it moved to off-Broadway.  Tom himself played the lead role of Frank, who makes a very short rise before a long fall.  The play gave way to the enormous success of the album by the same name, and placed Tom Waits firmly in the league of artists who make New York a myth and a reality.
