Staypineapple, An Elegant Hotel, Union Square 

Whimsical both outside and in

If you’re allergic to the stuffy and the formal then you’re on the same wavelength as creative crash pad Staypineapple. Here, it’s all about complimentary sweet treats and interiors that flirt with a playful sunshine palette.

Staypineapple sits in a creamy white historic building that has an Instagram-worthy Bip Graffiti gold mural on one side. Its gilded lobby comes with plenty of ochre and lemon accents and there are some shiny communal spaces where you can sit and order from the hotel’s salty and sweet Quick Bites and Bevvies picnic-style coolers. The 93 boutique bedrooms are a sunny sanctuary from city life and as subtly sweet as the pineapple infused water the hotel serves.
