 This hotel, which has a resolutely downtown feel, is a startling find uptown. Equidistant from Lincoln Center and the American Museum of Natural History, the ultra-modern property is a proud feather in the cap of the Citylife Hotel Group. The twelve-story building hails from 1922, but there’s been a lot of work done on it since then. The lobby looks like it belongs in a modern art museum, with its low-slung fabric benches and subtle recessed lighting. Yet rooms are surprisingly affordable, including frequently-advertised specials to be found on the Web. Not surprisingly, the 251 rooms are sleek and streamlined with smooth, white bed linens juxtaposed against matte wainscoting and sheer floor-to-ceiling drapes. All have high-speed Internet connections. The bathrooms represent the perfect marriage of form and function, with touches such as stainless-steel sinks. Original mixed media paintings by Puerto Rican New York artist Alfonso Munoz add attitude and color. Some of the rooms have wraparound glass terraces, which look out over the rooftops of the residential, Upper West Side neighborhood.
