Their reimagining of Joie de Vivre’s most historic property draws inspiration from the Art Deco bones of the 1911 building. The phased renovation included 177 guest rooms, eight suites, meeting and event space, and the lobby and mezzanine. Throughout the entire property, key elements of the original building were restored and honored – from the historic elevator banks, to the pristine 1900s-era marble staircase and original cast iron railing that runs the height of the building. A closeted back-bar was reimagined to reveal a jewel box crystalline bar where daily “Martini Hour” is held, nodding to the hotel’s historic role in the birth of the classic cocktail.
Layering in unique design elements from across the eras in which the hotel has thrived – the original staircase, “film noir” inspired Venetian blinds, mid-century lighting, and contemporary artworks – creates a cohesive bridge from past to present. Custom furnishings, a palette of fresh neutrals, and eclectic accents infuse a sense of modern elegance with timeless appeal.
