Overview

The Dream Downtown is a futuristic-looking hotel that is easily one of the hippest joints in the area. An edgier layout showcasing an industrial-meets-luxury design is perfect for the trend-conscious travel and partiers.

In conjunction with the Maritime Hotel, Dream Downtown blends public spaces together in a unique way. The modern style plays on the building’s history as a maritime operations center and provides guest with a bohemian, eclectic feel featuring velvet chairs, button ottomans and sofas, cowhide benches, and funky orb lighting.

The 316 rooms of the Dream Downton hotel, classified into Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum categories, did not have a renovation. They have a hyper-modern style with automated systems, sleek white sofas, wall-mounted shelf desks, chrome lamps, minibars, flat screen TVs, and porthole windows with a great city-view. In addition to traditional bathroom amenities, and dental kits with Q-tips, cotton balls, and mouthwash.

The Dream Downtown hotel is in a commuter-friendly location between Manhattan's stylish Meatpacking District and Chelsea neighborhoods. It is away from the hustle and bustle of Midtown and near a wide variety of attractions including Chelsea Market, High Line, Whitney Museum of American Art, Atlantic Theater Company, Chelsea Piers, Hudson River Park, and Madison Square Gardens, and Union Square. A decent amount of shops, restaurants, art galleries, theaters, and cafes are also nearby.

Amenities on site at Dream Downtown are a rooftop lounge, underground club, two restaurants, 24-hour fitness center, a posh salon, and a 5,000 square-foot pool area. The pool area known as "The Beach" brings a taste of the tropics to the concrete jungle. Dream Downtown’s trendy rooftop club, PHD, offers breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, while the rock-music club, The Electric Room, has cocktails and cool British-pub décor.

The Dream Downtown hotel offers various dining and nightlife space that can be enjoyed by all or booked for private events. Whether at the pool deck, basement bar and club, rooftop lounge, or sleek restaurant, party-goers will have plenty of activities to keep them busy day and night.

Summary of reviews

Guests say
Most guests appreciated the hotel's central location, highlighting its convenience for exploring the area. Cleanliness and modern design were also positively noted by several reviewers. However, many guests reported significant issues with billing errors and poor customer service, including unhelpful staff and unresolved refund disputes. Room size was a common complaint, with some finding the accommodations too small or not ready upon arrival.

Pros (+) The price and location were great, though the deal we found clearly isn't their usual rate. I would never pay full price for a hotel like this.
Cons (-) The decor is clever, but makes it an incredibly uncomfortable room. Super echo-ey due to the cement, glass & metal design.

Pros (+) Good location, restaurant, bar, and pool were all lovely. Well-kept hotel.
Cons (-) Rooms are tiny, and the staff was very inattentive. I asked three times (including reaching out once before my stay) about booking an activity and each time the concierge or staff told me someone would get back to me. Each time, no one ever got back to me. Finally we ended up missing out on the activity we wanted to do because of the staff's lack of attention.
