The Jane Hotel

The standard 'cabin' rooms at The Jane are modeled after ship berths and measure roughly 50 square feet, accommodating a single twin bed and very little else. Some rooms feature shared bathrooms in the hallway, which is a key reason the rates are lower than most Manhattan hotels. There are larger 'Captain's Cabin' rooms available at a higher price point for those who need more space.

The Jane Hotel is located at 113 Jane Street in the West Village neighborhood of Manhattan, near the Hudson River waterfront. The location puts guests within walking distance of the High Line, the Meatpacking District, and Greenwich Village restaurants and nightlife. The area is served by several subway lines including the 1, 2, and 3 trains at nearby stations.

Many of the smaller cabin rooms at The Jane have shared bathrooms located in the hallways, similar to the maritime hostel style of the building's original use. Some upgraded rooms and suites do include private bathrooms. Guests should confirm which room type they are booking if a private bathroom is important to them.

The building originally opened around 1908 as the American Seamen's Friend Society Sailors' Home and Institute, serving as a lodging house for merchant marines. It gained historical notoriety as the place where surviving crew members of the RMS Titanic were brought in 1912 after their rescue ship Carpathia docked in New York. It was later converted into the Jane Hotel, preserving much of its nautical architectural character.
