You're traveling as a couple
As a couple, The Jane Hotel needs the right timing and tolerance.
What you're near — and what you're not
- West Village dining and the Hudson River waterfront
- The Whitney and the High Line (short walk)
- Meatpacking nightlife
- Midtown and Central Park (~25 min)
- Far west — a walk to the nearest subway lines
What you're paying for
Tiers run from the tiny single and bunk-bed cabins (often shared bath) up to larger Captain's cabins with private bathrooms; rates are room-only. The catch is size and bathrooms — the headline-cheap rooms are berth-small with hallway baths, so size up if that matters to you.
Plan it well
- Cost
- Cabin rooms from ~$100–170 / night
- Timing
- Year-round; the bar scene picks up on weekends
- Booking
- Direct or OTA; confirm whether your room has a private bath
- Getting there
