Nestled in Manhattan’s trendy Greenwich Village, this 4.5-star boutique hotel seamlessly mingles with the bohemian history and quaint cafés, townhouses and tree-lined streets surrounding it. Inside this brand-new building, Georgian-style architecture and interiors as classical and authentic as its historic surroundings can be found.
Traditional, warm materials contribute to the retro, speakeasy vibe, inside and out: wood, copper, wrought iron, tin ceilings, ceramic tiles, and brick. The hotel was a high-rise ground-up development project, yet created in a way to create a timeless intimacy of scale. The hotel—a short walk from SoHo, Union Square and Washington Square Park—gives one the impression of being a personal guest in a private home.
The sumptuous sunken lobby has mosaic flooring and a rich palette of red, purple and silver while featuring a fireplace and Art Deco-inspired wall-coverings and lamps. Playful common area and guestroom accents include subway tiling and fully functioning rotary phones, while modern comforts such as mobile docking stations and spa bathtubs ensure a luxurious, memorable stay in one of the world’s great neighborhoods.
