Even though we are going through yet another snowstorm today in Manhattan, rest assured... summer is coming.  And instead of making the three hour commute all the way to The Hamptons for some much needed R&R, why not stay in The Big Apple and experience something much similar (if not better) at the gorgeous Dream Downtown in Chelsea?  Here's why you need to check in there ASAP.

In the heart of the Meatpacking District, the 315-room hotel goes beyond the lobby and luxury accommodations to offer guests and locals the best in food and nightlife.

As an alternative to a Hampton's summer house, the hotel's duplex Presidential suite, the GuestHouse, includes a private terrace and glass-bottom jacuzzi. At 2,500-square-feet, the newly renovated suite is $5,000/night, giving you the luxuries of a rental out East without any of the traffic.

To add to the Hamptons feel, spend your day at The Beach, a 4,800-square-foot pool scene where sand is imported directly from Montauk. Then spend your evenings with upscale Mexican fare at Bodega Negra, and finish it off with a drink and some dancing at the hotel's indoor/outdoor rooftop, PHD Rooftop Lounge, overlooking the Empire State Building and city skyline.

There are several other reasons that make Dream Downtown so irresistible.  One happens to be location, location, location.  It is situated by some other amazing hotspots in Manhattan on top of Bodega Negra, including Chelsea Market and some of the best restaurants like Bagatelle in the Gansevoort area and many more.

We recently stayed at their sister location, Dream Midtown, and were beyond pleased by its rich aesthetic, hospitality and more.  So if you are looking to have a Hamptons-type blast this summer without dealing with the three hour drive, then the Dream Downtown is definitely for you and then some.
