Crosby Street Hotel
A design hotel wrapped around a SoHo courtyard
About this hotel
Crosby Street Hotel is a five-star property in SoHo, rated 9.4 out of 10 by recent guests. It wraps a contemporary design hotel around a cobbled SoHo courtyard, which shapes the character of the stay more than any single amenity does. For a DreamWorks Water Park trip, this is honestly a New York City base rather than an on-site stay: American Dream and the Meadowlands sit across the Hudson, reached from here by NJ Transit bus, subway plus PATH, or a drive through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel. Families traveling with toddlers or teens will find the neighbourhood itself does real work either side of the water park day, with restaurants, transit connections, and city sightseeing all close enough to fill a full day without ever touching a taxi. On balance, the cobbled SoHo courtyard is the single fact that defines this stay more than any room amenity could.

- On-site terrace
- Design-forward rooms
Our take
This suits families wanting genuine SoHo design character, with a cobbled courtyard and on-site terrace for the evenings bookending the trip. It suits fewer travelers on a tight budget, since the five-star rate here is among the highest on this list. Book directly for the room configuration you need rather than relying on generic photos, since suite layouts vary more than star rating suggests across this list.
- ✓Book the courtyard or terrace for an evening after your DreamWorks Water Park day.
- ✓Plan SoHo's boutique shopping streets for the city half of your trip.
- ✓Book well ahead for school holidays, since five-star SoHo inventory sells out first.

- On-site terrace
- Contemporary design throughout
- Multiple breakfast styles offered
Why guests love itThe cobbled SoHo courtyard became the quiet retreat a family needed the evening after a long DreamWorks Water Park day, and the contemporary design throughout made the New York half of the trip feel distinct from anything on offer nearer the Meadowlands. The room configuration ended up mattering more than the neighbourhood itself for keeping two different bedtimes on track during the trip.
