GALERIE – GO INSIDE 5 OF NEW YORK CITY’S MOST EXCITING HOTEL OPENINGS

From Aman Group’s lavish new property on Fifth Avenue to a supremely stylish stay in the Financial District.

While people flock to New York City for being the city that never sleeps, there’s just something about finding refuge from the bustling crowds in a chic and comfortable hotel that’s unmatched. Whether you’re a visitor seeking a place to stay, or a local looking for a quick bite or drink, these new and upcoming hotels are some of the most anticipated openings hitting the city.

One of the most historic neighborhoods in New York City, the Financial District was commonly known as “the center of the free world” due to its numerous seaports and mercantile buildings. Now one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, the Wall Street Hotel offers visitors an escape through this stylish and chic stay. Designed by Ukrainian-born Liubasha Rose, founder of Rose Ink Workshop, this 180-room property is brimming with whimsical patterns and an array of beautiful artwork. “It’s all about bringing a bit of glamour and richness into the downtown experience,” Rose tells Galerie. Blending luxury with a residential feel, furnishings and decor in the hotel’s lounge and bar area include newly-upholstered vintage furniture, custom pieces, as well as artwork in every corner. Additionally, Stonehill Taylor collaborated with Rose along with Charles & Co for an incredible architectural restoration of this historic building. While staying true to the property’s immense character, Taylor incorporated changes such as making the building’s façade more uniform through matching and refurbished stones.

The hotel’s restaurant La Marchande, spearheaded by Michelin-star Chef John Fraser, offers a modern take on the classic French brasserie fare. Plus, for a more intimate experience, an expansive event space as well as ballroom provides the perfect backdrop for any formal event.
