Archer Hotel New York
A compact Midtown boutique hotel near Bryant Park, Archer New York trades oversized facilities for sharp design, personal service and a rooftop with close-up Empire State Building views.
Archer Hotel New York sits on West 38th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues, a highly practical Midtown location close to Bryant Park, the Empire State Building and major transit.
The property is deliberately intimate for Manhattan, with compact rooms designed to feel polished rather than cramped. Materials, lighting and small locally sourced touches give the hotel more personality than many similarly sized Midtown options.
Some rooms capture strong Empire State Building views, and the best categories use floor-to-ceiling windows to turn the surrounding skyline into part of the interior.
Spyglass Rooftop Bar is the hotel’s signature amenity, offering one of the more direct rooftop views of the Empire State Building in the neighborhood. AKB downstairs provides a more casual all-day social space.
Archer New York works best for travelers who value location, design and rooftop atmosphere over a large spa or pool, particularly for shorter city stays where Midtown convenience matters.
