Well, unless you’re a champion procrastinator, by now you’re a champion of another sort: you’re someone who’s completed the Holiday Olympics. Your feet have been put to the test combing the city for unique gifts. Your body has endured dramatic temperature changes as you’ve gone from chilly streets into steamy stores. Your brain has been put to the test calculating discounts (and trying to remember if you saw a better price online). So, like all other serious athletes, why not treat yourself to a massage at the end of such a serious physical event?

The holiday specials at Metamorphosis Day Spa should be just the thing to release your inner Scrooge and replace it with true peace on earth. If your face is starting to look a little too much like the Grinch, try the Berry Merry Facial ($150), that will have you glowing like angel with a berry peel and cranberry and pomegranate super hydrating mask. Or, if you just need to wash away the memories of those lines at the Macy’s registers, why not indulge in the Berry Merry Body Exfoliation and Hyrdating Body Treatment ($65)? It includes a full brown-sugar-and-cranberry body scrub followed by a complete rub down with a cranberry and pomegranate butter blend.

Talk about visions of sugar plums!

Without a doubt the center of most things hip, hot and happening in Brooklyn these days is, of course, Williamsburg. But, if the newly opened Box House Hotel located in Greenpoint is any indication, that center may soon be moving northward.

The Box House is not a hotel in the traditional sense; it’s really a collection of uber-cool apartments decorated in a funky, fresh style that belies the unassuming exterior of the building in which they’re housed. The bright red entrance doors to these apartments are found along two long white corridors–one on the ground floor and one on the second floor. All the upper-level apartments feature a rarity in any hotel in New York: spacious private balconies.

Apartments come in four reasonably priced categories (they start at $125!): one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, studio-style lofts and duplexes that feature bedrooms nestled on raised platforms above the living space. The décor is as eclectic as Brooklyn is these days, with display jars and cases showing off funky collections of antiques and bric-a-brac like red lightbulbs, baseballs, blocks and sewing paraphernalia. All rooms feature Apple TV, large flat-screens with generous channel offerings. free WiFi and full kitchens.

Greenpoint isn’t as vibrant as its southerly neighbor yet, but there are plenty of good eats and bars to be found in walking distance from the hotel–and the 7 train which is located right across the bridge outside your front door, zips you into Manhattan in one stop. If that’s not enough, the hotel also rents brand-new bikes that let you see Brooklyn’s various neighborhoods like a true local.

This phrase seems like a good motto for West Chelsea these days. In the “onwards” category you have the new extension of the High Line, the innovative public green space set atop an old freight railway line. And the “upwards” distinction would have to go to the freshly-opened Hotel Americano–not only because that’s the way your eyes go when you see its steel-clad exterior, but because it has truly upped the ante for lodging establishments in the former hotel wasteland known as West Chelsea.

Hotel Americano might be the first overseas property for Mexican hoteliers Grupo Habita, but things behind that shiny façade (which is made from recycled conveyor belts, by the way) are surprisingly global in nature. In fact, with their platform beds, minimalist décor, and room service treats (ordered on the in-room ipad) that arrive in a bento box, the rooms feel like they’d be more at home in a Japanese ryokan than in Manhattan’s art-gallery heavy Western edge. Of course, the Latin heritage of the chain isn’t completely forgotten; bossa nova beats welcome you in the lobby and a bottle of house-made mescal awaits on your desk.

With a rooftop pool that turns into a hot tub in the colder months, a sleek Brazilian bar, rooftop grill, lobby cafe, and a restaurant featuring the Latin-tinged French stylings of former Daniel Chef Olivier Reginensi, we think the Hotel Americano has nowhere left to go but “up.”
