  • Price: $375/night & up
  • Location: East Village, New York City
  • Why it’s Carrie: The hotel’s vintage, boho-chic design reminds us of Carrie’s funky fashion sense. The hotel redefined class in a neighborhood where punk rock and squalor once ruled, and like Carrie, it was an instant classic.

  • Why it’s Samantha: This sexy hotel packs a lot of va va voom — exhibitionist-friendly windows (you can see in from the outside) in the mod rooms; groundbreaking design; and three ultra-trendy night spots. Plus, it’s in the Meatpacking District, where Samantha moved after disapproving tenants drove her out of her old apartment.
