AKA Tribeca re-imagines what it’s like to live the New York dream. You know the one: A spacious mid-century townhouse tucked into an impossibly cool downtown street, with a living room that draws a horde of creative friends. The public spaces at the AKA Tribeca are intimate and inviting, redesigned in 2014 by SoHo firm Gachot Studios. Fireplaces, white oak floors and a library stocked with art books invite lingering, while the bar and restaurant are both destinations of their own. James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Carmellini’s restaurant is hyper-local, with a seasonal menu forged from longstanding relationships with farmers and producers. Cocktails at Evening Bar are equally artisanal, concocted by the mixologist behind the city’s great speakeasies.

We love this location for seeing Broadway shows. And our guest service lady Bella went the extra mile to make sure we got a quiet room.

The hotel itself is lovely and in a great location in Tribeca—walkable, quiet, and convenient while still feeling tucked away from the chaos of the city. We chose a room with a balcony/patio, which was a nice feature to have. That said, because of that room type, the room itself was quite small, with just enough space for a queen bed. It’s something to keep in mind if you value extra room space over outdoor access. On the plus side, the bathroom was surprisingly large, very clean, and beautifully done, which made a big difference in overall comfort. What truly made this stay exceptional was the service. Qualeemah (Bella) went above and beyond to help me make my partner’s 50th birthday—on New Year’s Eve—really special. Her communication in advance was excellent, and she was incredibly helpful in coordinating room decorations and details. That level of care and attentiveness made the experience memorable and personal. I would absolutely return to this hotel if I’m staying in Tribeca again, and I’d happily recommend it—especially for anyone celebrating a special occasion and looking for thoughtful, standout service.

We had a great stay at the Smyth. Our bellman Xavier was very helpful throughout our visit and gave us helpful directions upon our departure.

We had a wonderful visit to NYC and stay at Smyth. Bella at the front desk was fantastic and helped us get where we need to go in some difficult weather!

Bella and Mariah gave me some of the best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. From the moment I walked in, they were warm, welcoming, and incredibly professional. They handled everything with patience and attention to detail, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. Their positive energy, quick assistance, and willingness to go above and beyond truly stood out. You can tell they care about the guests and take pride in what they do. Thank you, Bella and Mariah, for making my experience genuinely pleasant. They deserve all five stars and more!
