If business takes you to New York City and you want a little more of a local experience than a typical hotel can deliver, Q&A Residential Hotel in Lower Manhattan may be exactly what you’re after. Operated by Furnished Quarters, a supplier of global temporary housing in more than 800 cities worldwide, Q&A offers 132 apartments that are (on average) up to three times bigger than most New York City hotel rooms, each decorated in upscale contemporary design with custom furnishings and full-sized kitchens.

New amenities include laid-back dining at Blue Park Kitchen and paid access to recreation options such as a golf simulator, bowling alley, game room and movie screening room. Blue Park’s menu includes local grains, fresh vegetables, sauces made in-house and other healthy choices. Guests who prefer to take advantage of their private kitchens can choose to have grocery delivery supplied by organic and gourmet food hall City Acres Market. Other amenities include the full-service La Palestra fitness facilities and wellness center, and Australian café Black Fox Coffee Co. Hotel spaces were designed by Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, whose credits include the Mondrian SoHo Hotel in New York and the Mondrian Hotel in Los Angeles.
