And, of course, by stars we mean celebrities. The Marcel at Gramercy has been dotting the tabloids recently with their new underground lounge, Polar. With a past guest list of Audrina Patridge, Ryan Cabrera, Alicia Keys, and Matt Damon, there’s no telling who you will bump into at this arctic-themed hot spot. The Marcel at Gramercy also supports up-and-coming artists, and offers complimentary stays to people like tattoo artist Mister Cartoon. Even though you will come for the stars, you will stay for the charm of the hotel. With a great view of Manhattan Union Square, the in-lobby Inoteca Restaurant, details like the shag rug, and large fire place, the sophistication of The Marcel at Gramercy is undeniable. To get away from the hubbub of the press and celebs, take your sweetie on a romantic walk through Farmer’s Market at Union Square or use the easy access to transportation for a night out to see a Broadway show.
