The Greenwich Hotel

The Greenwich Hotel commands the cobbled corner of Greenwich and North Monroe streets in New York City’s charmed Tribeca neighborhood. Just one block from the Hudson River Greenway, its red brick facade rests among buzzing restaurants and boutiques just below Soho. In the midst of downtown vibes, the hotel is a hushed hideaway for well-knownguests. Owned by Robert De Niro and opened in 2008, the 88-room luxury hotel was built from the ground up atop a former parking lot. A trove of top-notch talent —like Belgian designerAxel Vervoordt, who has a penchant for refashioning castles — melded wayfaring styles with lofty common areas, transporting you out of modern Manhattan. Akin to booking a piece of art, every room and suite is designed differently, outfitted in materials like hand-laid Moroccan or Mexican terra cotta tiles, and stocked with eclectic furnishings from Italy to Japan and beyond. The result is a rich and refined look, less trendy than it is timeless.
