Crosby Street Hotel

In keeping with the neighborhood’s industrial history, the hotel façade has been kept minimalist. The exterior of brick, stone and glass pays homage to the surrounding urban landscape, while the floor-to-ceiling warehouse windows are an obvious nod to the iconic SoHo loft look. Sustainable materials and energy-efficient technology round out the package—green luxury at its best. In fact, the Crosby Street Hotel is one of the most environmentally responsible hotels in the entire United States, well poised to receive a Gold LEEDS (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification by the US Green Building Council.

Unusual pieces of original art spark Kit Kemp’s design process. No surprise, then, that the centerpiece of the Crosby Street Hotel lobby is a stunning work by Scottish paper cutout artist Jack Milroy. But don’t expect a transatlantic transport of Kemp’s original English style; the Crosby Street Hotel achieves an American flair without abandoning its British roots via Kemp’s collaborations with local designers and artisans.

It wouldn’t feel like Soho if the Crosby Street in New York didn’t have loft style rooms and suites. The 86 spacious, individually designed bedrooms and suites span over 11 floors, featuring floor-to-ceiling warehouse style windows. British designer and owner Kit Kemp’s refreshingly modern British style lends an unbeatable charm to the rooms with custom designed fabrics and original artwork. The Meadow Suite, as the name suggests, has its own private garden terrace—a rarity for boutique hotels in NYC—featuring American native plants. The suites all come with luxuries such as in-suite check-in, unpacking and packing service, bespoke mini bar and welcome gift, and shoeshine service. Of all the hotel’s suites, it’s the Crosby Suites, which occupy the 9th, 10th and 11th floors, that offer the most stunning and unforgettable views of that mesmerizing New York skyline.
