Travel Intelligence scouts out the four best New York art hotels to inspire budding buyers heading to art-lovers' paradise the Armory Show...
Chambers
A veritable feast for the eyes, Chambers should be any art lover’s first port of call in New York. For starters, every room features individual pieces from the hotel’s collective of established and up-and-coming artists, and corridors are adorned with their own specially-commissioned murals. Unfinished walls and industrial-style fittings set against smart furnishings create a loft-apartment feel that’ll further appeal to your inner artist. Located just off 5th Avenue, you can combine an Armory stay with a trawl of Midtown’s best art collection at the MOMA a few blocks away.

The Greenwich
The Greenwich is a ten minute taxi ride from the Armory Show’s exhibition site on the Hudson River, but this isn’t the only string to its bow. A showcase for owner Robert De Niro’s impeccable design sense (who knew?), The Greenwich feels one part gorgeous family home (New York School artist Robert De Niro Snr's work graces the drawing room and lobby), one part prestigious hangout for art-lovers with the moolah to back up the habit. Heavenly rooms come with stacks of hand-picked design books, as well as one-off pieces of antique furniture. A total treat.

Inside an all-white, clean-lined aesthetic will satisfy design-junkies: it’s perfect for those with a taste for edgier stuff.
