The Collective Paper Factory Hotel in New York

The Collective Paper Factory Hotel in New York is located in Long Island City. Although the hotel is not located in Manhattan, I can give you three reasons that might persuade you to give it a try. First: the rooms here are relatively cheap compared to Manhattan. Second: Long Island City is very up-and-coming. And third: it will take you just fifteen minutes to get to Manhattan – a two-minute walk to the metro station, followed by three stops with line M or R. Because of the great connection, quite a few places in Manhattan are actually quicker to get to from this paper-factory-turned-hotel than from Upper East Side or Upper West Side!

The Collective Paper Factory Hotel is permanently closed. For other hotels in New York, see here.

Atmosphere

The spacious rooms in The Collective Paper Factory breathe a typical New York vibe, with their brick walls, big industrial windows and Kilim rugs on the concrete and wooden floors. The style is industrial yet cosy; comparable to the well-known Ace Hotels. Original factory equipment and machines that survived the renovation can be found throughout the entire building. The idea is to keep the history and stories of the factory alive.

Facilities and extras

The Collective Paper Factory Hotel in New York has 125 rooms, which are all provided with flatscreen HDTVs. The WiFi is quick and reliable. The lobby has a coffee stand where good and reasonably priced coffee is served. And as if this isn’t enough, there’s a communal game room, workspaces and a 24-hour gym. On top of all of this: the staff at this hotel is very friendly. I experienced this in person and they indeed are truly kind and helpful.
