A Building With Windows And Plants Outside

Life Hotel New York Journal

Life Hotel New York occupies the 1895 building that once housed the offices of LIFE magazine, at 19 W 31st Street between Fifth and Sixth. This journal is the practical version of what the front desk gets asked: what is genuinely walkable, where to eat in Koreatown, how to read a NoMad rate, and how to get here from each airport.

Distances are walking times from the lobby. Prices are current as of 2026.
