Super high end hip semi secret hotel near us -- from Thompson Hotels. Gild Hall, located on the historic Gold Street, minutes away from Wall Street and South Street Seaport, bring a new level of luxury to Manhattan's illustrious Financial District. Designed by the famed Jim Walrod of Murphy & Dine, the hotel features a bi-level private library and champagne bar, a modern English tavern restaurant by Todd English, and 126 sleek, cosmopolitan rooms created with European sensibility and American contemporary style in mind. (From the same people who gave NYC the sublime 60 Thompson!)
