Standing between the sectors of high finance and high fashion, the Tribeca Grand Hotel is New York’s exclusive downtown getaway right in the epicenter of the urban universe. Of all the hotels New York has to offer, Tribeca Grand’s location is utterly unrivaled—the quiet cobblestone corner looks out upon one of the richest, most sought-after neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan, one that has long seduced celebrities and artists, financiers and the jet set. The only thing that might trump the beauty of the surroundings is Tribeca Grand’s own stunningly designed interior. The soaring central atrium opens to a fleet of luxurious guestrooms, the intimate Church Lounge, a premier cocktail bar and restaurant, and even a private film screening room—a New York luxury hotel the way only TriBeCa would have it.

Features and Amenities

Like the neighborhood itself, the Tribeca Grand Hotel is subtle yet luxuriously sleek—the hotel design is a mix of clean classic lines with bold punctuations of color and style. One of the top hotels New York has to offer, Tribeca Grand is hip without the flashy hype. The simple red brick façade decorated with signature cast-iron detailing was inspired by the materials that appear throughout the TriBeCa area. The hotel understands that taste is as much a question of well-articulated design as it is of location, and this explains why the ultimate New York luxury hotel fits so perfectly among its neighbors.

Inside, the feeling is tranquil and just a little bit decadent. The super-spacious central atrium, originally designed by Larry Bogdanow of Bogdanow Partners Architects, offers an airy vaulted core reminiscent of grand cathedrals as well as Hitchcockian mid-20th century public buildings like the old Penn Station or the Singer Building. A mix of mystery and lush precision defines the modern New York hotel, creating an atmosphere unparalleled in other New York City accommodations.

Recently reworked by designer William Sofield of Studio Sofield, the atrium plays host to one of the most happening scenes in the city—the downtown New York nightlife destination Church Lounge. Here lively organic colors in the vein of Frank Lloyd Wright serve as the perfect backdrop for leisurely drinks and late cocktail gatherings for both guests and New York natives. A true lifestyle hotel is as elegant in the day as it is seductive at night—a key ingredient of the Tribeca Grand atrium.

The hotel’s ultra-modern guestrooms work as cool counterparts to the warmth of the central atrium. Form certainly follows function, allowing for luxurious minimalist havens that are as much urban hideaways as places for work, leisure, and socializing. Tribeca Grand’s luxury hotel rooms are designed to feel as good as they look. Each guest room comes with such amenities as flat screen televisions, digital cable, movies-on-demand, iPods available upon request, Sony Dream Machine Speaker Docks, two line telephones, complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access, complimentary local calls, DVD players, personal safes, gourmet mini-bars, even a complimentary pet goldfish is available upon request. Bathroom amenities include Frette bathrobes and bath amenities from Malin + Goetz.

Church Lounge

Located in the center of the hotel’s soaring atrium, the Church Lounge is the contemporary incarnation of the classic New York hotel bar. An intimate gathering place by day, and a downtown destination by night, Church Lounge TriBeCa’s long, glossy bar, plush armchairs, and softly glowing lighting provide the ultimate in sophisticated downtown socializing. From a classic American menu designed exclusively by Tribeca Grand chefs to some of the best signature cocktails New York City has to offer, the stylish Church Lounge provides guests with a flash of downtown city life at its best. Weekends keep up the pace with a leisurely buffet-style Grand Sunday Brunch, a brunch both New York City locals and hotel guests call their favorite.

Location

TriBeCa has served both as farmland and commercial center in the past and became known in the 70s and 80s for the sprawling lofts artists converted to studios, and which have since become multi-million dollar lofts that appeal to the area’s inhabitants.  TriBeCa is a haven-like enclave that draws notables for its secluded feel and high culture; the neighborhood is populated with refined restaurants, high-end, specialized shops, and private residences, and the Tribeca Grand acts as an oasis within this exclusive area.  A stroll through TriBeCa reveals upscale eateries like Nobu, MR CHOW, Chanterelle, and Bouley, local staples like Bubby’s and Odeon, and sophisticated retail options such as Issey Miyake and Stephen Alan. Also home to independent movie theaters and filmmakers, this is where the Tribeca Film Festival emerged.

On a prime cobblestone corner, the Tribeca Grand crowns one of the most exclusive and eclectic neighborhoods in all of city. Two blocks below Canal Street, and bordered by Church Street, Walker Street, and Sixth Avenue, the hotel is the crux for an endless array of fashion, leisure, and commerce.  The NYC boutique hotel is steps from the chicest downtown New York restaurants, which include Nobu, Bouley, and Tribeca Grand’s own Church Lounge, the most stylish downtown New York shopping including antique stores, designer boutiques, furniture showrooms and art galleries, not to mention dozens of New York nightlife locales. Anyone who has the luxury of staying in TriBeCa will find almost anything they seek within reach.

Tribeca Grand Hotel may be located in one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan, but it also borders many other must-see locations—mere steps from SoHo, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Little Italy, the Meatpacking District and the Hudson River waterfront and incredibly short walking distance to NoLIta, Wall Street, Battery Park and the Financial District. All trains run through the neighborhood, leading only a few subway stops away to the Theater District, Times Square, Museum of Modern Art, the Empire State Building, and Ground Zero—the ultimate New York attractions are close at hand, but the downtown New York hotel is removed enough to make guests feel like native New Yorkers
