Best hotels in SoHo, New York City: 5 top picks for 2026

Sustainability certification came first in the ranking order. A hotel with a verified LEED or Green Key credential ranked above one without, regardless of star rating. Within the same sustainability tier, star rating broke the tie, and guest review scores settled anything still equal after that.

Every hotel on this list has a confirmed street address inside SoHo, bounded by Houston Street to the north, Canal Street to the south, Lafayette Street to the east, and Sixth Avenue to the west. Properties in NoLita, Tribeca, or the West Village did not qualify, even when they market themselves as SoHo-adjacent.

The segment mix requirement meant at least one mid-range and one upscale property had to make the cut. That rule prevented the list from skewing entirely toward boutique luxury options, which dominate SoHo's hotel market.

SoHo skews upscale. Most properties here sit at four or five stars, and nightly rates reflect that, typically ranging from $350 to $700 depending on season and room type. Mid-range options exist but are fewer, and they tend to book out faster because demand outpaces supply at that price point.

The neighborhood's cast-iron buildings limit new construction, so the hotel stock turns over slowly. That means the properties on this list have established reputations and consistent guest review histories, which makes the ratings more reliable than you'd find in a neighborhood with newer, less-reviewed openings.
