Hotel Review: Fouquet’s New York

Fouquet’s New York, Tribeca

Put very simply, there’s no place quite like New York City! It’s always exciting, vibrant, and inspirational. In my early twenties, I arrived as a new Nordstrom Buyer, pinching myself at the chance to experience this amazing place. Then life got busy, and I started a family, and didn’t go back for many many years.

Fast forward: So Susie came along … and the need for “blog research” pulled me back to the city.

For the past five years, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting reacquainted with all the unique opportunities it has to offer. Before, I just was in and out for work, and never had time to do much exploring. These days, I can’t get enough of the shopping, street style, and of course, food! And, on my past several trips, I’ve stayed at the same hotel: Fouquet’s New York. It’s one of my all-time favorites — and that’s saying a lot.

In the heart of Tribeca, just up the cobblestone streets and surrounded by cafés and shops, you’ll find Fouquet’s New York. Every detail about this hotel is considered, with art deco interiors and pink décor around every corner. It feels equal parts chic and cozy, and there’s top-tier service, bars & restaurants. You’ll even befriend the sweet bellmen on arrival. So, after some dedicated real-life research, I’m here to give you all my best recommendations on why Fouquet’s should be on your next NYC itinerary.

So Susie Rating: a resounding thumbs up!

My Favorite Room: The Tribeca Corner Suite

We stayed several times in the Tribeca Corner Suite, which feels like living in a NYC fairytale. There’s Schumacher wallpaper, pretty pink decor, and unlimited space for lounging. And, you have ample space to get dressed up, grabbing your best from the overpacked suitcases you probably brought! The bathroom deserves a pause, with marble counter tops, a double vanity, a huge bathtub overlooking the streets of Tribeca. And, of course, the fabulous Diptyque toiletries. It’s all in the details! Even the mini bar is stocked with a Nespresso machine and Lemme gummies. If there’s one hotel I could truly live in, it’s Fouquet’s!

 

Location, location, location …

In the heart of Tribeca, up the cobblestone streets, you’ll find Fouquet’s. Tribeca has a specific kind of appeal. It feels like New York without the chaos, but still cool enough that you know you’re in New York. Which is exactly what it feels like to stay at this hotel! Walking distance from many local restaurants and SoHo’s best shopping (or a short Uber), and right on the edge of the Hudson River, it feels like everything you need in one place. There’s a mix of creatives, low-key celebrities, families, and people who like good design and good food but don’t need to shout about it. It’s stylish without trying (and the perfect place for people watching).

Tuckernuck – Their new store on the Upper East Side store feels like walking into someone’s living room, filled with beautifully curated clothing, jewelry, and actual home decor you can buy.

Veronica Beard – VB’s Upper East side store is beautifully laid out, and I always find something to add to my wishlist.

Bergdorfs – One of my favorite department stores in NYC. Every display is thought out, and it actually feels like the luxury shopping experience most department stores are missing. Bonus tip: Make a reservation at their restaurant to grab a bite after browsing through the home department.

The Webster – Six floors of all the coolest designers, with handpicked selections and all the latest arrivals

Printemps – A must-see in NYC. Every room feels like its own experience, and you can grab a drink at one of the chicest bars while you browse their incredible collections

More NYC favorites – Simkhai, Khaite, Staud in SoHo, Elysewalker on Upper East Side, and Ludivine!

 

Make a Resy at These Restaurants for Good Food & Vibes

Dinner

La Mercerie – I always make it here for dinner, and it never disappoints. Candlelit, French, and a classic for a reason.

Saint Theo’s – A fun place to spend your Friday night. Buzzing with good music, great Italian food, and fantastic people-watching

La Esquina – If you see a taco truck that leads you down a flight of stairs and through the kitchen, you’re in the right place. Make sure to go on a night with a DJ, and don’t be alarmed when it starts feeling more like a club. So much fun.

Via Carota – A tougher reservation, but easily one of the best meals I’ve had in New York.

Drinks

Le Vaux – When the weather warms up, Fouquet’s rooftop is the place to be. Chic green furniture, views of Tribeca, and my favorite Mezcal Old Fashioned.

Titsou Bar – The speakeasy inside Fouquet’s is an absolute must. Top-tier people-watching, dark and moody ambiance, and bartenders that feel like friends.

Le Bar Penelope – We stopped inside before heading to “Oh Mary” the Broadway show, and immediately wished we stayed longer. So fun and so chic.

Balthazar – Perfect for happy hour and a light bite after shopping in SoHo

Next on my list to try: Cafe Zaffri, Monkey Bar, Polo Lounge, Mono+Mono

Lunch

Sartiano’s Café – Inside the Mercer Hotel for an iced latte or a lunch break between all that SoHo shopping.

BG – After browsing Bergdorfs, make a reservation at BG for afternoon tea or a delicious lunch.
