TRAVEL & LEISURE – THIS NYC HOTEL IS BRINGING ELEGANT DESIGN TO A QUIET NEIGHBORHOOD

Long before the opening bell of the stock exchange, downtown Manhattan is always stirring with people preparing for another busy day — whether that means doubling up on coffee, catching a cab in time, or dodging tourists on the morning commute. Just a few blocks east of the New York Stock Exchange though, The Wall Street Hotel offers an oasis from the neighborhood’s fast pace and an elevated sense of design to the neighborhood.

While the bulk of the Financial District is dominated by glass towers and sleek, modern finishes, The Wall Street Hotel leans into the neighborhood’s history, keeping the stone and Beaux-Arts facade in place. Inside, softer patterns on the furniture, paired with marble tables and walls, create a relaxed setting in the common areas and guest rooms. Designed by Liubasha Rose, of Rose Ink Workshop, the rooms (from $499 per night) are designed to be an escape from the commotion at street level during the day, while still being luxurious for travelers coming to the hotel for business or a getaway.
