After completing an expansive transformation led by award-winning interior designer Nicole Hollis, the building has been reimagined as a luxurious, one-of-a-kind hospitality destination. Many of the building’s original Beaux-Arts architectural details have been preserved including their marbleized lobby and Tiffany windows. The hotel features 265 graciously appointed guestrooms and suites, a library, a gym outfitted by Peloton, and 6000-sq. ft. of event space.
