Bottom Line

The Levin is a tiny, 12-room boutique hotel with an emphasis on personalized service. Comfortable and quiet rooms are reached by a charming 1940s cage elevator.

Oyster Hotel Review

The Levin

Scene

Intimate and stylish with an art deco vibe

The Levin was founded by experienced hotelier David Levin. This 12-room hotel is an intimate, family-run affair that offers warm personalized service. For example, there is no big front desk, but instead a beautiful reception room. There are some great special features at the hotel, including a lovely free breakfast and a minibar stocked with a variety of champagne in every room. Art deco colors and shapes dominate the decor. In The Metro Bar and Bistro and beyond, the scene is laid-back and elegant.
