Looking for places to say during the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival??? Book your rooms quick before they sell out! Here are Top Hat's Top Picks for where to stay closest to the festival:
The Greenwich Hotel- owned by actor and film festival co-founder Robert Deniro, the Greenwich Hotel is a hotspot for celebrity sightings year round. During the festival, it's almost a no brainer that if you're lucky enough to get a room, this is our #1 pick where to stay. This place is cozy and eclectic, with a real boutique hotel feel. Rooms during the festival start at $495, but I had tea next to Sean Penn in the lobby, and that most certainly made it worth it.
2. The Tribeca Grand Hotel- spotted! Nate Archibald (a.k.a. Chace Crawford) checking into the Tribeca Grand.... 2 weeks ago. True story. This hotel still has it in with the young "it crowd," and the hotel's massive lobby bar is a cool scene on weeknights in NYC. This place is super close to the film festival, and will sure to be a great place for celeb sightings that week. The hotel even has their own screening room where they host their own premieres. Rates for the film festival start at $329 a night.
3.
The Duane Street Hotel- this hotel has a great Asian/Urban theme to it, nestled in the heart of Tribeca. If you like clean lines and great work space, this is the hotel for you. With your stay you get 24 hour personal concierge services, and handmade marshmallows with your turn down service. The hotel is smack in the middle of Tribeca's best shopping and dining areas, and you are sure to enjoy your stay here during the festival starting at around $239 a night.

4.
The Smyth Tribeca- the Symth Tribeca is sure to be the best of "cheap" hotels. It recently just got a major boost of publicity by playing host to the Kardashian sisters during their stay in NYC while opening their new Dash boutique in Soho. It's currently a hotspot, so if you're lucky enough to score a room during the festival, their will most likely be some great celeb sightings. Rooms for the festival start at $299 a night, but rumor has it if you book online and use the film festival promo code "TFFF," you wil score a discount.
