Highs & Lows

  • Great location! It's one of the main attractions on Warren St. You can take the train from NYC and walk everywhere, but best to have a car

  • So much attention to detail — everything at The Maker feels intentional yet seamless. I like the feeling of being in a place that has it all figured out

  • The vibe at the bar at night is sensual and provocative. You can definitely feel sexy here, especially with the fragrant cocktails

  • Each room is unique and tells a different story with its own unique decor, style, and personality

  • The Maker Cafe is a great place to relax, socialize, or write emails. Delicious pastries and bites too. You'll find a nice blend of locals and weekenders

  • It's one of those hotels where you want to stay longer to enjoy the space. Don't stay just one night
