I'd like the hotel to be in a safe and central location and although willing to splash out I really want to stay somewhere cool but reasonably priced. I've seen the Hudson and wondered if this is a cool place to stay?

I went to New York 2 years ago for Christmas, And I stayed in the Swiss Hotel, "The Drake" That Hotel was great... I stayed 7 nights, and it was reasonably priced... The staff was super friendly and helpful... I ate dinner almost every night at the Hotel restaurant, and it was the best eats in New York that I found... Just be care full in the City over Christmas... That's when a lot of crimes happen, because of all the tourist visiting... Good luck, and I hope you have fun...

Not a hotel, but I was in New York in the Summer and signed up with an organisation called Big Apple Greeters. A native New Yorker came to my hotel, and based on what I had said were my interests, gave me a free, alternative tour of New York. It was outstanding. You have to fill in a visitor request form online and they try and match you with someone.
I stayed near Times Square for a week and to be honest, yes it was safe as it was always busy, but the absolute nicest area I saw was Soho. Fantastic shopping, beautiful buildings and right near Broadway. Afriad I don't know the names of any hotels there though.
In terms of shopping around Soho there are a couple of places of note - the area on and around Spring Street and Broome Street. On Broome/Broadway is a colossal building called Pearl River Chinese Emporium which is a fascinating place to shop for everything Chinese from food to clothes, to homeware. It has smaller branches of a lot of the bigger stores around there, and within a street either way you can get everything from high end designer, to purse friendly fashion, all sorts of art and gift shops and plenty of places to stop for a coffee.
My hotel was the Herald Square hotel, less than five mins walk from Macys and the Empire State, very close to Times Square. It was a safe budget place for me as a solo female traveller, the staff were wonderfull, the rooms clean (if basic) and I would stay there again.
Enjoy your holiday!

The Affinia Manhattan, 371 7th Avenue, is wonderful. Right opp. Penn St. Station and a block from Maceys and all the other shops. The rooms all have fully equipped kitchens and with a deli right next door you can eat in if you want. The rooms are enormous and room 2410 even had a large balcony so it was amazing

Check out the website listed below. It will have almost every hotel & hostel in NYC. It has traveller reviews too qwhich is good because you get reviews from people that have actually stayed there. You get the real deal, not the BS the hotel wants you to hear.
I found it very usefull, but you have to do your homework. Good luck!! :)

they're all my prominent Spring brings in the hot, summer is the relaxing time of warmth from the solar and water for swimming and cooking outdoors. Then comes fall the colors are eye-catching and the air is cool. The wintry climate comes and looks to make the international calmer, i admire the snow and ice we get because of the fact the moon hits it and glints like a wonderland.

I stayed at Lexington a few years back for 4 nights..
Terrible hotel...snooty staff...and not that cheap either...
The plush reception hides poor rooms..we moved twice after sharing the rooms with ROACHES!!!

Well, if you're really inquiring about the BEST hotel in the city, you'd be hard-pressed to find any better than the Pierre or the Carlyle.
