Unique Sleeps: Amazing hotels hand picked by Expedia Experts.\u00a0The James New York<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

As Shakespeare once famously said, \u2018Do your research before booking a hotel in NYC.\u2019 Clever Bill. He was dead right.<\/p>\n

Happily, we\u2019re slightly more researched than many, having spent multiple months in\u00a0Manhattan<\/a>\u00a0over the past few years. We know\u00a0precisely<\/em>\u00a0the areas we like, and\u00a0exactly<\/em>\u00a0where we like to eat and drink, and have an extensive list we hit when we arrive. You know, like everyone else.<\/p>\n

But that was all pre-baby\u2026 Speakeasies til 3am and breakfast at 1pm type fare. Now we have a small, adorable companion who insists on regular food and naps and a 6pm bath-boob-bed ritual. This inspires a new style of travel, obviously, but mostly it means we need\u00a0space<\/em>. Space for cots, and prams and big, puffy jackets, luggage and the 10 pairs of Nikes I\u2019ll be buying because I have issues.<\/p>\n

New York, however, is not the best at space. Brooklyn \u2013 wide open, quiet Brooklyn – was floated for about four seconds, before I remembered how much shopping I wanted to do, and where most of that was located. (Not Brooklyn.)<\/p>\n

We knew we wanted to stay downtown, (we generally stay around the West Village\/Soho), but the last time we were in NYC we spent a fair smack of time on the LES and in Tribeca, so we thought we\u2019d try someplace closer to that.<\/p>\n

Cue\u00a0The James<\/a>, right on the border of Soho and Tribeca and to be honest, the perfect position for a couple of kids with a pram and a penchant for good coffee (and the crostini at Locanda Verde.)<\/p>\n

Our room was incredible. SO MUCH SPACE. It was a corner room, with floor to ceiling views right round of Soho, the LES and the Financial District, and uptown. Mind-blowing on a sunny day, and great fun to watch at night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
