The hotel

This stylish yet unfussy boutique hotel is a great find. Named after sculptor Douglas Tilden, there’s artwork lining the walls and it has a hip yet homely feel. It’s quite a gathering place too — grab a latte in the curbside coffee shop or chill out a while in the lobby, then later maybe head to the restaurant for dinner and enjoy an expertly hand-crafted cocktail at the social bar area.

We purchased rooms for this hotel on Travelzoo and were not sure what we would find. Well, the staff over our 5 day 4 night stay were exceptional. Thank you Tre, Ayana, Joseph and Mario.

I will definitely stay here again. And Union Squareis only 2 blocks away! Read less

Everything was great Hotel wise. My only issue is that I used my bank account debt card to book the room. I payed cash at check out. They've been holding 439 dollars for over 2 days now and late fees for bills I had to pay after NYE are happening from this hold. Really sucks for people living paycheck to paycheck. Just a warning to folks that are poor like me. Don't book if you don't have a credit card. I'm paying big time for that stupid mistake. Read less

went there in Dec 2019 and it seems an average hotel with limited breakfast options. Very conveniently located in the city with transit and uber options. because the hotel is newly built it's clean and worth living for few days.

I have stayed at The Tilden at least 5 times. I enjoy the ammenities, service, convenient location and overall comfort. The price is always reasonable and the stay is a positive experience. Beds are super comfortable, the bath products are exceptional!
