I present to you GEM Hotels, yet another stellar example of new “boutique” hotel chains that are really doing it right for tourists and neighborhoods both.

At all four properties—Chelsea, Midtown, SoHo, and Union Square—the goal is to represent each neighborhood (Yup, that’s local music you hear as you stroll through the lobby), while providing guests complimentary services (bottled water, internet, fuzzy robes) that we have sadly grown accustomed to paying for.

Book and stay before February 28, and rates are as low as $129 a night with their “Wintertide” deal. (Rates usually hover in the $200 range.)

This is a very good deal from some very nice hotels that cater to the kind of tourists who really want to feel NYC.

If that’s you, jump on it.

(Though I do have to say, that pillow fight on the website kind of creeps me out. I hope those two aren’t staying in my room.)
