- Who:Me + BFF rendezvousing for a work trip
"Mysterious, sexy, Euro hideaway in NYC"
Highs & Lows
-
The sultry, self-sufficient-but-swaddled vibe is very mysterious attaché on a sexy work trip. The sort of place you might go if The Tourist was real and you had a high stakes rendezvous planned in New York instead of at a palazzo in Venice.
-
The service! I love these people. Parisian born co-owner, Jean Claude, fills the team with a mix of Euro and local personalities, each one of whom is more charming and accommodating than the last, no matter the hour. No detail is overlooked.
-
There is just no other space like this one. The 5-story historic landmark was renovated from artists' loft apartments to its current jewelbox state, replete with an open air, Mediterranean-tiled courtyard that feels like a cross between Marrakech and the Latin Quarter. The access to rooms via the balustraded outdoor corridor and the dreamy view of the sky from every angle is transportive.
-
Art lovers delight. The owners’ private collection adorns the public spaces and unexpected nooks. Think Kito Mbiango, Menelo Sete, Varrack Arslanian, Jeannie Weissglass, Chaz Guest, original Basquiats, and Keith Harings.
-
Design details and understated glamour everywhere. Divine bed linens, marble baths, delicious custom bath products in bottles large enough to last your whole trip and then some.
-
Complimentary suit press, shirt ironing and shoeshine, plus guest laundry and dry cleaning services. A daily New York Times newspaper and access to a private conference space make even the most mundane business trip an exercise in luxury.
-
Full disclosure, if you're looking for a party scene, this is not your hotel. However, if you want utter seclusion in a private courtyard with a view of the stars while cracking open prosecco late into the night like we did, you won't find anything better.

An adorable shop in the lobby's tiny loft nook is a great use of space within landmark building permit restrictions. Skin and haircare from Tata Harper, Brooklyn Beach and Jack of All Graces tuck in next to Terra rain slickers and Repetto ballet flats. In June 2021, minibar and local treats still on request as per COVID-19 restrictions

Prime real estate smack in the middle of SoHo. Steps from big-name shopping on Broadway (Bloomingdales, Chanel), the boutique-stuffed streets of Nolita and Lower Manhattan, plus some of the city’s favorite dining, (La Esquina, Balthazar, Cafe Select). The 6 train is only a couple of blocks away, but The Broome is so centrally located you may never need to leave the neighborhood.
