For fun or for business: Innside New York

 

The NoMad area is slowly becoming my favorite hood in New York. For reference, the “North of Madison” area is contained to East 25th Street to the South, East 29th Street to the North, Sixth Avenue (Avenue of the Americas) to the West and Madison Avenue to the East. 

The area is bursting full of new boutiques, restaurants and hotels including the INNSIDE NEW YORK, which opened in March 2016. Meliá Hotels International, one of the largest hotel companies in the world, opened INNSIDE New York as their first INNSIDE by Meliá brand hotel in North America.

The 313 room (eight suites and three terrace suites) hotel serves the business traveller and discerning tourist who wants subtle solitude in combination with central convenience of being able to head Downtown and Midtown with ease. 

Guests are treated to a complimentary minibar stocked with water, soda and juices and standard complimentary Wi-Fi access. My favorite part of the hotel room was the large oversized window that overlooked the city’s water towers and in the distance, One World Trade Center. 

While there is a Nepresso coffee machine in each room, you need to pass and try out the signature restaurant, Impero Caffè, helmed by celebrity chef Scott Conant instead. Guests can grab Italian coffeehouse fair before starting their day and host lunch and dinner engagements later in the day. 

The lobby bar which seating spills out on the outside (heated) patio serves old-fashioned drinks and seasonal hand-crafted cocktails, in addition to local draft and bottled beers, wine, champagne and spirits.

Staying for business? INNSIDE New York features two meetings suites that are equipped with Smart Kapp, a program which has modernized the experience of a dry erase board to allow meeting participants to receive content as it’s created on the board across multiple devices. They can also be connected to a laptop or mobile phone via Bluetooth allowing guests to upload images directly from their device to the board.

Rates: Starts at $146 (depending on the Season)

Location: 132 West 27th Street

HGU New York in the NoMad District

 

One of my favorite areas in New York City is the NoMad district with its stunning architecture and its convenience to both Midtown and Downtown.

The beautiful $18 million dollar renovation of HGU New York, located at 34 East 32nd Street marries both style and substance, and stands as crown jewel to the Park/Madison area. 

Preserving the history of the 1905 landmark Beaux-Arts structure designed by architect Frederick C. Browne, Alfa Development collaborated with hospitality designer Peter Guzy of Asfour Guzy Architects as well as DD Allen of Pierce Allen Design to ensure all spaces are both comfortable and chic. 

Gallery 151, provided the curated art throughout the hotel featuring New York’s emerging artists among icons such as Fab 5 Freddy and Liz Markus. The walls are bursting with artwork accented with large, ornate flower arrangements that create an atmosphere unique to HGU New York.  

Establishing a home-away-from-home experience, each of the 90 guest rooms is decorated with serene grey and white décor, 300-thread count Frette bedding, bath and beauty products from New York’s own C.O. Bigelow Apothecaries.

The pillows deserve a special mention – they are incredible. Varying in firmness with white goose down and feather fill, HGU New York provides guests with options to complement their sleep. 

The 1905 Lounge is complete with a fireplace from the building’s original structure. A large TV is masked behind a mirror, not competing with the décor and will serve as the perfect place for film screenings as well as meetings and intimate events.  

In October 2016, the hotel’s restaurant opened and now provides room service. Plus, in 2017, guests will enjoy the city’s night lights when the rooftop opens.  

Here are also a few pictures of their Opening Celebration:

Your Home away from Home

 

Question: What do you do when your home or office renovations take longer than expected and you have over-stayed your welcome at your friends or the noise at the co-working space is driving you crazy? You are finally moving into a new place mid month and you are stranded for two weeks prior to moving living out of suitcase with the rest of your personal affects in storage or your furniture is not arriving for another month? 

Answer: Q&A Residential Hotel, found in the 66 story landmark Art Deco building at 70 Pine Street, is your home away from home; offering 132 apartment-sized suites ranging from 500 to 1,400 square ft. with all the features of home like a full sized kitchen including a dishwasher, valet laundry/ dry cleaning, La Palestra fitness center and virtual concierge. 

With the added features of a hotel: daily housekeeping, unlimited free wifi, unlimited local and long-distance calling and plush bedroom and bath linens, bath amenities by L’Occitane as an added treat – you’ll almost forget that it’s not your permanent address. All this - for no minimum stay either. 

Upon entering the suite, you will immediately notice the modern décor which is a result of the design efforts of Furnished Quarter’s in-house design team led by Steve Saide, in collaboration with Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, the designer behind the Mondrian Hotels in both New York and LA. 

For those traveling for business, the soon-to-be-open Black Fox Coffee (planned for June 2016), will serve up the best artisanal java from the land down under. For those wanting to grab and go, complimentary coffee/tea and breakfast treats are offered in the hotel lobby every morning.

And for those wanting to stock up the full-sized fridge the 13,000 sq ft Urban Market will be an oasis of high quality, gourmet prepared food to satisfy everyone tastes after a long day at the office.  

Want a full fridge without the trip to the store? Grocery service is provided with delivery straight to your suite. Need a space to meet or print out some must need documents? A business center is located next to conference rooms.

Even more exciting, is the Michelin-starred chef April Bloomfield collaboration with restaurateur Ken Friedman four-level dining and drinking complex on the roof top, to be opened in 2017.

The accessibility to subways 2,3,4,5,J, Z,A and C make Q&A the obvious answer to all of your questions.

Both Audacious and Sophisticated

Located at Lower Midtown, the Wolcott Hotel opened it’s doors on March 1904 as was back then was considered "both audacious and sophisticated, designed by John H. Duncan - a prize-winning but idiosyncratic architect - for a mysterious developer with a checkered career.”

It was not only sought by their loyal guests, but also by a large number of renowned people who eventually became residents there.

A few names are: Buddy Holly, an American musician and singer-songwriter and Mark Twain, an American author and humorist! 

The hotel hosts several famous people and photoshoots inside it’s walls, with a clear vintage decor. Names like Jennifer Lawrence, Oprah Winfrey, Amanda Seyfried and Princess Pia Mia are a small part of the list.

A Refuge in the Heart of Manhattan

The 1 Hotel is a relatively new hotel, launch in the 2nd semester of 2015. Even though it’s located in the center of Manhattan, steps away from Central Park, once your inside the hotel, everything become calm and you feel as if you can breathe and relax.

The experience starts off with a stunning, rustic, green entrance, where every detail makes you in awe. The rooms and suites are beautifully done, also with gorgeous rustic reclaimed wood, clean lines and even energizing friendly plants in different spots to make you company.

With fresh farm organic ingredients the restaurant Jams, by Jonathan Waxman is one of the highlights for guests and visitors. The 2nd floor offers a lounge with drinks to rest from the busy City and there is a small farmer’s market where you can get fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts for snacks.

If you can’t live without exercise, their gym is a great option to start (or finish) your day.

Lastly, the hotel offers spaces for networking and social events like meetings, weddings, catering and any type of celebration you’re looking for.

Oh! If you’re more a “Brooklyn-type” person, they have another hotel right beside the Brooklyn Bridge with a priceless view of Manhattan’s skyline, and another hotel in Miami!

Where Guests Arrive as Strangers and Leave as Friends

 

Urban Cowboy is one of the coolest B&B's (Bed & Breakfast) you'll ever see!

Located in the hype neighborhood of Williamsburg, specifically on 111 Powers Street, the B&B created by Lyon Porter, offers 4 bedrooms in a freestanding townhouse. Oh, plus it's the only B&B in Willyb! Pretty intimate, right?

"The Cowboy is luxury with a local sensibility. In the morning, breakfast is delivered from their local hospitality partners, so one can decide between an almond chocolate croissant, biscuits and gravy, or keep it healthy and have an organic green juice.

At night, guests can mingle with the native Brooklynites during the various dinner parties and events hosted by the owner."

The decor is rustic and intimate at the same time, making you feel you're at home, or at least, at a friend's place. Every detail is intriguing, done with much love, but effortless at the same time, which definitely gives it a twist.

Definitely the place to stay to have a real Brooklyn experience!

An Artful Luxury Boutique Hotel

 

"In the last two years, I have travelled to New York City nearly a dozen times and have stayed in different accommodations each time. Like many travelers, I look for a place that is quiet, clean, and has free Wi-Fi. Furthermore, location is key: it could mean the difference between spending a $30 cab ride to get across the city and being right where the action is (and I’ve done both).

With the vast selection of hospitality companies offering standard and specialty accommodations there is no need to visit anyone place twice. Until now! Say "Hello!" to The Renwick, an intimate 173-room boutique hotel, and full of big city dreams. This brick and mortar classic is packed with stories from the early 20th century.

Built in 1928, the hotel is named after its architect, James Renwick, Jr., who is best known for his design of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Although not a formally-trained architect like his father, Renwick Jr. studied engineering and was influenced by his world explorations.

Originally, the building was comprised of oversized artist’s studios and lofts that were eventually turned into a long-stay hotel. This was home to many creative types and prominent literary figures, such as John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Mann.

It’s charming to pause at the doorway of The Renwick, to soak in the inspiration of the streets of Midtown New York, just like the title character in Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

Now reimagined into an “artful luxury hotel”, the Renwick offers inviting guest rooms designed as its own ’artist studio’, equipped with ’blank canvas’ white walls. The TV stand is fashioned to look like a painter’s easel. For window shades, local artist Ben Cowan produced unique renderings of the New York skyline for each room, using a dry brush technique on painter’s drop cloth, from Erin Lass’ wall quotes to the ceramic pen cup by Yuka Uchida of OVO Ceramics, each guest room has a unique curation that begs to be noted.

However, the art theme does not end there. The stairwell leading to the fitness center has drawings by Heather Heckel as motivation. Even the housekeeping staff dons outfits that replicate an artist’s smock!

There is much at The Renwick to be acknowledged and admired. The design is in the details, and the details are everywhere. I look forward to my upcoming stay, so that I can continue to revel in the history and draw on creativity for my future endeavors."

“People don’t take trips. Trips take people.” - John Steinbeck

The Surrey Hotel in the UES

 

Designed by Lauren Rottet, The Surrey Hotel was recently renovated and is New York City's only Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel.

The cost of this renovation was over $60million.

Build in the 1920's, it's one of the most luxurious hotels in town with almost 200 rooms and suites.

"Built in 1926 as a residence hotel, the original Surrey was home to many of New York's most eccentric celebrities. JFK, Bette Davis, Claudette Colbert, and other famous faces who recognized the allure of exceptional, discreet service. In re-creating The Surrey, we collaborated with acclaimed interior designer Lauren Rottet of Rottet Studio—to maintain the integrity of The Surrey’s history while modernizing New York's most intimate address. Rottet's inspiration was a New York City townhouse passed down through the generations."

The Pleiades Bar or the private rooftop gardens are great options to enjoy the hotel.

Best Boutique Hotels in NYC

We contributed during 1 year for Glamour Brazil. Here is one of our posts about cool Boutique Hotels in town: http://revistaglamour.globo.com/Lifestyle/noticia/2014/07/lista-reune-os-melhores-hoteis-boutique-pra-se-hospedar-em-ny.html

The English Version below:

We made a selection of some boutique hotels in New York, and some that recently launched! Unlike traditional hotels in the city, these boutique hotels attract a young, modern crowd, who appreciate art and like to have fun, therefore they offer great restaurants, hype bars, an environment with art works and design, plus a bustling night life!

Paramount Hotel
The hotel was built in the 1920s and was considered one of the best hotels in town. At the time, everyone passing through Times Square (between 1938 and 1951) would certainly enter the hotel to go to Diamond Horseshoe - a club / theater serving dinners in the basement of the hotel. 
After being sealed and closed for 62 years, the hotel was repurchased by a millionaire by $20 million and reopened in the New Year’s Eve of 2014. 
One of the great attractions at the hotel is the show Queen of the Night, which takes place inside the famous Diamond Horseshoe which was also revitalized. Giovanna Battaglia is the Creative Director of this “theatrical dinner" that mixes theater, music, circus and design. The Dress Code? They ask you to "Dress for the Queen", so only formal attires, cocktail dresses or luxurious costumes are accepted. 
The hotel also offers a restaurant called Paramount Bar & Grill, the Corso Coffee, an Italian bar with coffee, cakes, pastries, sandwiches and salads. The rooms have contemporary decor and modern design with flat-screet televisions, internet, iPod docking station...and your floor tells you what is the temperature out there to help you get dressed. Interesting, right?!

The Refinery Hotel
The hotel was built inside a former hat factory of the early 20th century. Located in Midtown, it has 12 floors with 197 rooms and offers a really cool entertainment. Parker & Quinn, the restaurant with seasonal foods, offers breakfast, lunch, dinner and for those who want a good cocktail, it's an environment with nostalgic decor that recalls New York in the early 1900's. 
They offer live music with pianists, jazz singers and even DJs in certain week nights. The Winnie's Wine Lobby Bar recalls the era of the US Prohibition when the production, sale and distribution of alcoholic beverages was prohibited. With a beer and wine menu for every singular possible taste, the bar also offers live music. 
Since all true New Yorkers love a rooftop, the hotel did not forget to make your own! The Refinery Rooftop is cozy with a rustic space and an amazing view of the Empire State Building. The cocktails created by Alex Ott are made from natural ingredients and certainly will make a difference in your night!
