Hotel Type
Luxury Boutique Hotel
London's top hotelier sets-up an embassy of chic in NYC's Soho offering a familiar UK styling and ubiquitous urban glamour found at their London properties that include such fashionable mainstays as the Soho Hotel and Charlotte Street Hotel. Along one of the hippest shopping streets in Soho, Tim and Kit Kemp create a series of cozy design spaces with the feel of private living rooms adorned with honor bar for hotel guests only as well as the Crosby Bar, a upscale pub-minded eatery cast in ashy oak floors, and long pewter bar for all-day dining.
Like all other Firmdale properties, the hotel's interior design is by Kit Kemp who creates her stylish hocus-pocus over an outdoor garden, drawing room, gym and a 100-seat screening theater room much like the one found at Soho Hotel. Utilizing the latest in environmental building materials and recycled products, the hotel maintains a Gold LEED status. The hotel will be managed by Jakob Hansen, formerly of Charlotte Street, who duplicates the Firmdale experience from housekeeping to the lively lounge scene that have made this hotel a NYC cult hit since opening.
The Room
Firmdale’s Crosby Street Hotel opened as an all-new construction with 85 individually designed in a loft interpretation of floor-to-ceiling warehouse style windows. The relatively new age of the property offering amenities like sound-proof windows even on lower floors and some of the latest electronic gadgetry of the 21st Century - lacking in many other NY luxury hotels. Room interiors are fit for an English starlet, with feminine yellow and green colors offsetting industrial floor-to-ceiling windows and masculine marble bathrooms outfitted with Miller Harris toiletries.
