Pod 39

If you've ever thought sleeping in a space pod looks cool, Pod 39 is for you. While the rooms are certainly small by anyone's definition, they are brilliantly thought out to maximize the available space, which makes them feel much roomier than they are. Besides the modern (bordering on futuristic) decor, this hotel features a rooftop bar with amazing views of the New York skyline. With cool touches like ping pong tables and a Mexican restaurant onsite, it's no wonder this hotel is popular with the "hip" crowd. Modern comforts, sleek extras and a generally welcoming atmosphere make this a fantastic choice for staying in Midtown Manhattan.
