Affinia Shelburne
- Pearls: Rating: 3.5 Pearls
- Location: Gramercy and Murray Hill, Manhattan
- Price: $150/night
Located in sleepy Murray Hill, the Affinia Shelburne is a bit of a hike from most popular tourist attractions, but the abundance of reasonably priced restaurants nearby -- as well as the hotel’s own rooftop bar and inventive burger grill -- make this comfortable, low-key property a solid mid-price option. The spacious suites have marble tubs and colorful custom-made furniture.
