A hotel toshi July 4th!

This year, Hotel Toshi staff threw a July 4 party on the roof of its 808 Driggs office and apartment building in Williamsburg, Brooklyn!

Hotel Toshi clients from all over the world and New York professionals met for a night of eating, bonding, and apartment-loving!

The roof top was a total splendor, with its wood panels and view of all of New York City and Brooklyn. And, as we learned later, the roof is a favorite New York spot for visitors staying in 808 Driggs. Take that Times Square!

Here is a gaggle of people staying in various hotel toshi apartments saying hi to hotel toshi!

A Legal Look at hotel toshi

Hotel Toshi helps people live in New York City.



The hotel apartment service offers short-term or long-term apartments and for prices cheaper than brand-name hotels.

You get more room for half the price of traditional hotels.

Yet some questions have been raised about whether or not Hotel Toshi is a legal business.

In a NYC blog, a resident writes: "When I googled Toshi it seems like everyone on the Internet is equally mystified by his real estate dealings."

Well, here is some clarification about Hotel Toshi.

• Hotel Toshi owner Robert Chan partners with owners of condos and lofts and helps them fill apartments. Each of his apartments is remodeled according to Toshi style, and offers nightly, weekly, or monthly stays.

• A New York City Appellate Court decision in 2009 ruled that residential apartments can legally cater to short-term rentals (defined as less than 30 days). 

In "City of New York v 330 Continental LLC", appellate judges argued that the law allows for a "significant" number of units in a residential building to be used for short-term stays

The staff at Hotel Toshi prefers spending time helping people find great apartments, so we'll spare you the intense legal interpretation of our lawyers.
