A Reimagined Lobby Experience
At the ground floor level, custom fixtures amidst a light, airy range of calming pastel and neutral tones welcome guests. With round-the-clock doorman and bellman services available, guests are greeted with exceptional service from the moment they arrive. Drawing inspiration from the glamor of New York’s Gilded Age and serving as a calming retreat from the energy of Manhattan, guests make their way to the hotel’s 15th floor Sky Lobby. Seamlessly blending form and function, the Sky Lobby transports guests to complete tranquility above the bustle of the city. Here, a beautiful collection of artworks curated by Celine Mo of Dinner Gallery and sourced from local and emerging artists waits to be discovered. A rotating collection, each installation is thoughtfully chosen to inspire and excite, offering a unique glimpse into the city’s creative pulse. Scannable QR codes allow guests to learn more about each piece, purchase the art on the spot, and have it packed and shipped following their stay so they can take a masterpiece home.
