How I ranked the rooms
I ranked rooms based on space (separate living area or terrace), consistent city views, and suitability for families or pets given Soho Grand Hotel's strong pet policies.
When multiple room types offered similar features I favored suites and terrace rooms for space and privacy; for value I favored standard Deluxe and Studio options.
- Space & layout: suites with living areas or two bedrooms rank higher.
- Outdoor access: private terraces move a room up the list.
- Practical factors: accessible check-in rules, pet-friendly floors and included amenities (Wi‑Fi, fitness, concierge) were considered.
| Rank | Room type | Why it made the list |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Grand Suite | Largest living space with separate lounge and strong city views |
| 2 | Suite, Terrace | Private terrace and one-bedroom suite layout for outdoor access |
| 3 | Grand Suite, 2 Bedrooms | Two king beds — best for families or groups needing separate bedrooms |
| 4 | Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom | Suite layout at a slightly smaller scale than Grand Suite |
| 5 | Deluxe Room, Corner | Corner placement offers extra windows and better sightlines |
| 6 | Grand Room, Corner | Corner king room with sofa and city views |
| 7 | Deluxe Room / Studio | Best value for a king bed and downtown location |
1. Grand Suite — best for space, entertaining and long stays
Why pick it: Grand Suite offers the most living space of the listed room types, with a separate lounge area and a distinct bedroom — a practical choice for longer stays, entertaining or when you want a clear separation between work and sleep.
Who it's for: couples who want room to spread out, small families who prefer a sitting room, and business travelers needing a quiet area to meet or work.
- Separate living area and bedroom
- Bar or wet bar area in many Grand Suite layouts (hotel photos show a bar counter in suite living areas)
- Access to the hotel's standard amenities: complimentary Wi‑Fi, fitness center and 24‑hour concierge
| Feature | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Layout | Living room + bedroom |
| Beds | 1 King Bed |
| Best for | Entertaining, work + sleep separation |
2. Suite, Terrace — best for outdoor space
Why pick it: Suite, Terrace is the clear choice when a private outdoor area matters — the suite includes a terrace that opens to the city skyline, useful for morning coffee or evening drinks outside your room.
Who it's for: travelers who value an outdoor spot without leaving the room, and anyone celebrating a special occasion where a terrace helps make the stay feel different.
- Private terrace with city view (hotel terrace photos show skyline outlooks)
- One-bedroom suite layout with separate living area
- Suitable for a quieter, more private stay than a club/lounge-facing room
| Advantage | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Terrace | Outdoor seating and skyline view |
| Suite layout | Separate living area for guests or work |
| Best for | Couples and anyone wanting private outdoor space |
3. Grand Suite, 2 Bedrooms — best for families and groups
Why pick it: The Grand Suite, 2 Bedrooms provides two king beds and multiple sleeping areas, so it’s the best in the hotel for families or groups who want separate bedrooms under one reservation.
Who it's for: families traveling with children, small groups of friends, or colleagues who need separate bedrooms but shared living space.
- Two King Beds across separate bedrooms
- Shared living area for dining or lounging
- Retains suite-level amenities like dedicated living space and larger bathrooms
| Consideration | Note |
|---|---|
| Capacity | Two king beds (suitable for family or group bookings) |
| Privacy | Separate bedrooms provide privacy while sharing one suite |
| Use case | Families, friends, or work teams |
4. Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom — best small-suite compromise
Why pick it: Deluxe Suite, 1 Bedroom gives many of the suite conveniences — a living area and larger bathroom — while typically being smaller than the Grand Suite. It’s a good middle ground if you want suite space without upgrading to the biggest suites.
Who it's for: travelers who want more room than a standard king but don’t need the largest suite.
- One-bedroom suite layout
- Often includes larger bathroom fixtures such as a freestanding tub in some photos
- Better for a single traveler or couple than a family
| Feature | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Living area | Space to work or relax separate from bedroom |
| Bathroom | Larger bathroom options shown in hotel imagery |
| Best for | Couples and longer stays requiring extra space |
5. Corner rooms — Deluxe Room, Corner & Grand Room, Corner
Why pick them: Corner rooms generally have more windows and wider sightlines — both Deluxe Room, Corner and Grand Room, Corner offer king beds and often a small seating area or sofa.
Who they're for: travelers who prioritize brighter rooms and better views without moving into a suite.
- Deluxe Room, Corner — 1 King Bed; corner windows give extra light (see Corner Deluxe Room photo)
- Grand Room, Corner — 1 King Bed; usually slightly larger with a sofa
- Good balance of view and value compared with inner-facing rooms
| Room | Typical perks |
|---|---|
| Deluxe Room, Corner | Extra windows; 1 King Bed |
| Grand Room, Corner | Sofa + extra space; 1 King Bed |
| Best for | Those who want light and skyline views without a suite |
6. Deluxe Room, Studio and Deluxe Room — best budget king options
Why pick them: Deluxe Room, Studio and standard Deluxe Room offer the core Soho Grand experience — comfortable king beds, city views, and access to the hotel's on-site dining and 24‑hour fitness center — at a lower price point than suites.
Who they're for: solo travelers, couples, and anyone who wants a central SoHo base without extra space.
- Studio — 1 King Bed with city view; compact and efficient
- Deluxe Room — 1 King Bed, straightforward layout
- All rooms include complimentary Wi‑Fi and access to hotel amenities covered by the amenity fee
| Room type | Best when |
|---|---|
| Studio | You want a compact room with a king bed and skyline view |
| Deluxe Room | You want a standard king room in SoHo |
| Deluxe Room, Studio | Studio layout for slightly more flexibility in the room |
