From coffee to cocktails this guide brings all the best luxe stops…
If your idea of a perfect weekend includes boutique hotels, elevated coffee, and candlelit dinners in one of the most stylish neighborhoods in New York, Soho has your name all over it. This guide curates the ultimate luxury weekend in Soho for design lovers, foodies, and those who want to escape the chaos of Midtown for something more soulful, but just as indulgent. Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, solo recharge, or a chic girls' trip, these stops will make you feel like a local with taste.
To Stay:
The Mercer Hotel
The Mercer is where timeless elegance meets downtown cool. As SoHo’s original five-star sanctuary, it offers a slower, quieter rhythm without losing touch with the creative pulse of the city. The 73 sun-drenched rooms and suites are tucked inside a landmark Romanesque Revival building, with views of either cobblestone streets or a serene private terrace. It’s the kind of place that feels more like a very chic home than a hotel…personal, private, and unmistakably New York.
For Coffee:
Fellini Coffee
Fellini Coffee doesn’t just serve espresso, it serves a vibe. This Italian style café is known for its cinematic aesthetic, quiet morning buzz, and expertly pulled shots. It’s a chic pit stop on your way to a day of shopping or the perfect excuse to linger and people-watch with a pistachio croissant.
For Quick Lunch or Gourmet Snacks: Meadow Lane
This gourmet market-café hybrid is a hidden gem, offering perfectly made sandwiches, fresh salads, and specialty snacks worth packing in your tote for later. It’s also beautifully curated, so even a quick stop feels like part of the experience. Don’t leave without picking up a few pantry items you can’t find anywhere else.
For Dinner:
Torrisi
Inside the historic Puck Building, Torrisi is the elevated Italian restaurant that people whisper about in group chats and rhapsodize over in dinner recaps. With an intimate dining room and dishes like duck alla mulberry, it’s where you go to impress, or to be impressed. Reservations are a must, but the payoff is huge.
For Music and a Nightcap: The Nines
The Nines feels like stepping into a Wes Anderson jazz club. With plush red velvet, candlelight, and a grand piano soundtracking your evening, it’s the perfect place to end the night. Order a martini or something off their extensive wine list and sink into the mood. It’s romantic, it’s chic, and it’s just the right amount of indulgent.
Whether you’re escaping for a solo reset or planning a romantic city weekend, SoHo makes luxury feel effortless. Between iconic cobblestone strolls and the kind of curated indulgences that linger long after check-out, this pocket of Manhattan delivers all the magic with none of the chaos. The best part? Every detail, every sip, every stay, every late night soundtrack is designed to feel like your own private slice of New York.
