Also in Condé Nast Traveler and AFAR.
In this idealized New York the best bits of downtown style … mix freely with uptown influences, from intricate tilework to richly figured hardwood and dark leather headboards.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on 38th Street in the Garment District, the hotel sits two blocks south of Bryant Park and moments from Fifth Avenue.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame skyline views, while compact layouts feature platform beds with built-in luggage storage and subway-tiled walk-in showers.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
AKB
Roll-up garage doors open the lobby bar to 38th Street for craft cocktails and plates on the sidewalk patio.
Designer Glen Coben cleverly gave this space an elegant, industrial twist that tips a hat to its history in the area.
At the table
On the twenty-second floor, Spyglass serves craft cocktails across an open-air terrace facing the Empire State Building.
How it began
Opened in 2014, the custom-built twenty-two-story tower was designed from the ground up as a modern tribute to the historic fashion district.
“A mix of fabrics, graphic prints, exposed brick, and floor-to-ceiling windows (with dramatic skyline views) pays homage to a neighborhood known for pushing the boundaries of fashion.”
