Honeymoons at Roxy Hotel New York: is it a good pick?
Yes — Roxy Hotel New York can be a good honeymoon pick for couples who want downtown Manhattan energy, live music, and several on-site dining and entertainment options. If you prefer a quiet, secluded resort or an in-room spa, this is not that kind of honeymoon; it’s better for couples who want downtown nightlife, jazz, cinema, and easy access to SoHo/TriBeCa.
