Look Down. If You're Wearing a Leather Moto Jacket, Listening to Future Geoffrey Weill Associates | www.geoffreyweill.com The High Line Hotel | Travel/Yahoo.com | 20 October 2014 | VPM: 227,047 Look down. If you're wearing a leather moto jacket, listening to Future Islands, and drinking Blue Bottle coffee, you've probably stayed at some pretty hip hotels in New York City. To see where other cool kids stay, check out Trippy.com so you’ll be sure to impress the next time you check in. Hang With the In Crowd at New York's Trendiest Boutique Hotels Trippy.com The High Line Hotel A former seminary that was once owned by Clement C. Moore, the man who penned “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” the High Line Hotel (not to be confused with The Standard, High Line) is currently enjoying as much popularity and praise as the beloved nearby public park after which it is named. Although the eye candy here is plentiful, be sure to check out the Gothic splendor and delicate stained glass windows of The Refectory room. The NoMad Hotel This very popular hotel is a favorite of Trippy advisor Tim Ferriss and perhaps not for the reasons you might expect. Here’s why: “…my favorite aspect is the food. Eleven Madison Park Restaurant is always booked for weeks out. It's one of the most famous restaurants in NYC. Unbeknownst to many, Daniel Humm (exec chef from 11 Madison) does all the food at NoMad. I highly recommend brunch or lunch—less crowded than dinner and getting the duck or slow-cooked egg. Definitely worth a test drive.” Wythe Hotel No “Cool Kids” list of any kind would be complete without a mention of that epicenter of hipness, Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Like so many of this borough’s greatest buildings, the Wythe Hotel started life as a factory just after the turn of the 20th century. It now offers rooms with exposed brick, commissioned art, beds made from the structure’s reclaimed pine, and a guarantee that you’re as cool as they come. The Greenwich Hotel If your idea of cool is more Catherine Deneuve than say, Chloë Sevigny, this elegant location might be your place. Trippy member Brew Johnson explains why: “ The Greenwich Hotel is a great spot, more mellow and laid back than some of the hipster joints mentioned in other reviews, but old school cool, New York. Great Italian restaurant, Locanda Verde on ground floor. Interesting fact, the hotel is owned by Robert DeNiro.” The Maritime Hotel Sophistication meets whimsy in this nautical-themed Chelsea District hotel. Built to look like cabins in a vintage yacht, the rooms here are so cozy and elegant you might not want to leave them. That said, leave you should as The Maritime has an exceptionally good restaurant and a rooftop bar that feels like something out of a really great 1960s teen beach movie. Ace Hotel If you’re looking for peace and quiet, the Ace Hotel might not be your place but if you’re looking to add more patches to your hipster sash, book immediately. Charming, if a bit manufactured, the décor here is Industrial Chic with rooms that lean more towards modern dorm than elegant hotel. Still, the hustle and bustle in the lobby is exhilarating and it’s certainly a great place to feel like part of the In Crowd. The Bowery Hotel You know how sometimes the coolest kid on the block also happens to be the nicest? The same might be said of the Bowery Hotel. With an exceptionally friendly staff, a warm English country house feel, and a refreshingly low-key vibe, its quiet hipness makes it a favorite among both visitors and New Yorkers. While its amenities are many, the Bowery’s complimentary film library has to be its best. Crosby Street Hotel Trippy member Cindy Gallop has a clear favorite when it comes to where she puts her head down in the city: “For serious comfort (and if budget is not an issue) I recommend the Crosby Street Hotel down in SoHo. Companion hotel to the hotel I always stay in in London, the Haymarket Hotel - great rooms, great bar, and restaurant, outdoor terraces, nice loft vibe.” Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC Having gained fame as a “Sex in the City” location, the Gansevoort still maintains a velvet rope exclusivity despite no longer being the only hotel game in the Meatpacking District. Its rooms are relatively spacious and well designed but its prize space is the rooftop pool/bar that lures the young and beautiful all summer long. It’s only open to guests, though, so keep that in mind before blowing up your water wings. (Photo: Damian Morys/Flickr) The James If you’re someone who’s interested in cool without the kids part, the James is the perfect option. With amenities like rooftop yoga, guided running tours, and a fleet of bicycles, you can walk out more buff than when you came in. Not into fitness? Take advantage of the in-room bartending tutorials they offer instead.

The “Roaring 20’s-esque” space draws inspiration from the glitz and glamour of New York’s bygone eras, modernized for the 21st century. Featuring an expertly crafted cocktail menu, The Stayton Room also boasts an innovative Bar Fare menu by Chef Richard Sandoval. The bar’s name is a nod to notable anti-prohibitionist William Stayton, who played a key role in bringing about the repeal of the 18th Amendment in 1933. “We are extremely proud of our rich history in New York City, and The Stayton Room is yet another example of our past influencing our future,” said The Lexington Hotel’s Area Managing Director Kaizad Charna. “We noticed a distinct lack of well designed, high-end bars, and we are thrilled to help change the neighborhood culture with The Stayton Room.” Conveniently located on East 48th Street and situated adjacent to the hotel’s lobby, The Stayton Room invites guests to step back in time to a world of Art Deco luxury, featuring dark wood, plush sofas and intimate lighting.

  • Hotel Development in NYC: Summer-Fall 2021
    Hotel Development in NYC Hotel Development in NYC: Summer-Fall 2021 It’s Time for New York City – Summer-Fall Hotel Update The New York City hotel community offers the most expansive and varied choices of hotel accommodations across the five boroughs, in neighborhoods from the Bronx to Staten Island. As the City continues to plan for more activities, more openings, and more visitors within the highest safety guidelines, more rooms are returning to active inventory and building activity continues on more than 70 properties. Through early August 2021, there have been 12 new hotel openings adding 2,805 rooms. The active pipeline adds another 14,700 rooms over the next 3 years. As of the beginning of August, the New York City’s hotel sector saw over 104,000 rooms in active inventory, accounting for about 80 percent of the total capacity including new and under construction projects. Each month established favorites are coming back on line to welcome business and leisure travelers to their rooms and amenities. Following a year marked by temporary closures, limited capacity, and acquisitions, the city’s hotel pipeline remains one of the most active in the country. Despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic, construction on the majority of new and developing projects resumed as soon as work was permitted. Foundations are being dug, floors are rising, facades are changing the look of neighborhoods and interior work is putting the finishing touches on hundreds of new rooms. The hotel pipeline in New York City continues to stand out in the US for diversity of properties and investment.

  • When GFI Development—One of the Development Groups Behind The
    When GFI Development—one of the development groups behind the NoMad and Ace Hotel New York—tasked Thomas Juul- Hansen (TJH) with tackling the James New York – NoMad, a renovation of the former Carlton Hotel into Denihan Hospitality Group’s newest, the neighborhood had been experiencing a bit of a rebirth. Yet, the James is “a key development in the renaissance of the NoMad neighborhood,” notes Denihan president and COO Vera Manoukian, “bringing a balanced lifestyle approach to the community,” where guests don’t even have to leave the hotel to achieve both serenity and conviviality. Not to mention, the New York design studio, known for its work on high-end residences, including the Beekman condos in Lower Manhattan, was happily surprised at the benefits of working on a hotel. “Being able to carry a full vision all the way through to completion—right down to the art and accessories—was very rewarding,” says TJH studio director Michael Stevens. “With residential work, there’s always a point where the owners take over and make it their own,” whereas the inherent nature of designing a hotel was liberating, he adds. Completed on a tight budget and schedule, the project involved creating a new identity for the hotel, including a redesign of all 337 guestrooms, while sticking with the original configurations and layouts for most of the rooms. Luxe details and materials set the residential tone: “Patterns come from the veining of the marble, the walnut in the headboard and armoire, and the brass bar cabinet, and bring a lot of warmth.

  • 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22
    HVS International : 2005 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 22 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS International, in cooperation with New York University’s Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the eighth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. In 2004, the Manhattan lodging market experienced an impressive recovery, with a RevPAR increase of 22% compared to 2003. From March through December of 2004, the market recorded double-digit growth in RevPAR each month, ranging from a high of 41% in April to a low of roundly 17% in October. At 83.2%, overall occupancy reached close to the historical peak achieved in 2000 (at 83.7%) while marketwide average rate was less than 10% below the 2000 level. Occupancy and average rate in 2005 should surpass 2000 levels. Due to limited new supply and increased compression resulting from near-maximum-capacity occupancy levels, overall RevPAR will experience double-digit growth for the next few years. Based on an overall improved economic climate, strong barriers to entry, limited new supply, and increased compression, we forecast the Manhattan lodging market to achieve a robust ±17% RevPAR growth in 2005. HVS International HVS International is a global consulting and services organization focused on the hotel, restaurant, timeshare, gaming, and leisure industries. Its clients rely on the firm’s specialized industry knowledge and expertise for advice and services geared to enhance economic returns and asset value.

  • NEW YORK ‐ Vol. 2 2017 May 23 - 27
    the Report: NEW YORK ‐ Vol. 2 2017 May 23 - 27 Hotel and community / ホテルとコミュニティ 1. Ace Hotel 2. NoMad Hotel 3. The Beekman Hotel 4. Sean Mac Pherson 5. 11 Howard Hotel the Report: HOTEL and Community New York has been always leading the world design in innovative and free dynamic forms. It has been giving many inspirations to the world, and that position has never been changed. However, the New York design in recent years has evolved in sophisticated way rather than just introducing new random ideas. In the beginning of the 2000s, the sense of fear walking in the public in middle of night still existed, but now that has been gone from New York City. When the city became clean and safe, the price of real-estate went up and forcing the young artists to move to the deeper Brooklyn or elsewhere. The place where new creativity can be achieved freely is no longer in Manhattan. The city has been evolving in a different way with big money. There have been some attempts to demolish the old elements from NYC and build such as amusement parks, which may be safe and clean, but making it " boring" city. However, Manhattan was protected by the regulation of landmarks and also the pride of the community would not let that happened. Thus far, not only the city has become cleaner and safer, but also it has developed into the present age of "vintage modern" with full of love and ideas to make New York a better place. Also, not just proposing new style and trend, the City attracts people just enhancing the brand of "New Yorker lifestyle" without any new attractions.

  • 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28
    HVS Hospitality Services : 2007 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview Page 1 of 28 Manhattan Hotel Market Overview HVS Hospitality Services, in cooperation with New York University's Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management, is pleased to present the tenth annual Manhattan Hotel Market Overview. A slight uptick in Manhattan’s occupancy level in 2006 led to a record high of 85.0%. Despite a virtually stable occupancy, the Manhattan lodging market registered a 13.4% increase in RevPAR compared to 2005, continuing its impressive performance. The market’s RevPAR gain was supported by double-digit growth in average rate each month of the year, with the exception of December, causing year-end 2006 average rate to exceed the 2005 level by 13.2%. The high rates registered by the Manhattan lodging market were caused primarily by continued strong demand levels in 2006, allowing hotel operators to be more selective with lower-rated demand and increasingly boost rates, thereby accommodating greater numbers of higher-rated travelers. We note that the market’s overall occupancy level of 85.0% in 2006 highlights the underlying strength of the Manhattan market, which continued to operate at near-maximum-capacity levels. Because of a further decline in supply in 2006, the market continued to experience many sell-out nights, causing a significant amount of demand to remain unaccommodated. Given the larger-than-ever construction pipeline in Manhattan, a substantial portion of previously unaccommodated demand is expected to be accommodated in the future. Manhattan’s marketwide occupancy and average rate both achieved new record levels in 2006, and we expect the positive trend to continue in 2007.

  • Below the Spire of Marble Collegiate Church Lays a Barren Hole with Construction Tools, Fire Extinguishers and Ladders Hastily Stacked Around the Edges
    Below the spire of Marble Collegiate Church lays a barren hole with construction tools, fire extinguishers and ladders hastily stacked around the edges. Three cranes excavating the West 29th Street site have been abandoned. A sign on a fence directs congregants, “confessions this way,” with an arrow pointing to the sanctuary. HFZ Capital Group had planned to build a boutique office tower at the NoMad location aimed at technology and media tenants, before the developer’s multibillion-dollar real estate portfolio started to unravel. HFZ CEO Ziel Feldman (Getty) But the money pit isn’t HFZ’s burden alone. The nearly 400-year-old Marble Collegiate Church, the oldest Protestant church in the country, entered into a joint venture with Ziel Feldman’s firm several years ago. And now that HFZ has defaulted on one of the project’s loans, the church’s investment is set to be wiped out alongside its partner’s in foreclosure. That’s a financial blow to the church, and it’s also a warning to other mission-based organizations — even those like Marble Collegiate with sophisticated real estate operations — that are sitting on valuable properties and thinking about getting into risky real estate developments. “We counsel nonprofits on this stuff all the time,” said Paul Wolf, co-founder of the brokerage Denham Wolf. “Typically, we say don’t take a risk that could jeopardize the core mission.” Wolf, who is not involved in the project, added that Marble Collegiate has an experienced real estate arm that’s done development projects before, but never one that got so deep underwater.

The ease with which the grocery supply chain can now be managed through software and mobile devices has driven an explosion of invest- ment in food and grocery e-commerce startups—close to $500 million in the past year. That’s helped spawn growth in the farm-to-table niche—and in its East Coast epicenter, Brooklyn. Competition has grown so intense among local-food delivery firms and entrenched players like FreshDirect that one Brooklyn startup, Farmigo, recently switched its focus from the boroughs to the suburbs. Experts say a historic shift in the formerly sleepy sector is taking place as a result of new technology meeting pent-up demand. “Distribution has always been the biggest problem for the local-food movement,” said Carlotta Mast, senior director of content at New Hope Natural Media, which covers the natural foods industry.
