Cipriani's House

Casa Cipriani, a private members-only club that's equal parts sophisticated dining hub and boutique hotel, is set to debut in late summer for those who want more exclusive stays. Cipriani, which boasts five Manhattan sites and outposts in nine worldwide cities, including Ibiza, Moscow, Monte Carlo, and Mexico City, to mention a few, is the epitome of Old New York glamor. offers

Casa Cipriani is taking over one of the last remaining Beaux Arts–style ferry docks, the Battery Maritime Building, which was built in 1906 and restored by New York-based architecture company Marvel, for its new downtown haunt, designed by Thierry Despont. The exquisite social club has 47 rooms and suites, as well as several eateries and beverage outlets (including a jazz cafe) and a heated pool, diner, and bar on the landscaped rooftop, which will open later this year with stunning East River views. Manhattan West, Pendry

Pendry has hotels all throughout the country, but its newest location is in Midtown West, combining the intensity of New York with the ease of California. In the ultra-cool Hudson Yards district overlooking the river, Pendry Manhattan West will join the ranks of some of the city's tallest towers when it opens this summer. A distinctive restaurant, sophisticated lounge, and bustling open-air terrace bar will be among the hotel's 164 rooms, which include 30 suites.

The sun-drenched interiors, designed by Gachot Studios of New York, exude an unrivaled sense of stylish warmth thanks to a warm neutral palette, luxurious textures, and a strong concentration on art. “In building Pendry Manhattan West, we intended to create a peaceful space distinguished by lush, rich materials that would stand in contrast to the gritty hustle of New York City,” explains cofounder and principal Christine Gachot. The tensions of West Coast breeziness and Manhattan's limitless vibrancy provided abundant inspiration for Pendry, a California-born brand that always pays great respect to its unique locale.” The hotel has five different food and beverage options, including a rooftop bar with panoramic views. SoHo ModernHaus

The ModernHaus SoHo, located on Grand Street in SoHo, just a few streets from the Hudson River, opened its doors in early May. The hotel is a study in color and a tribute to the postwar Bauhaus aesthetic, with works by Alexander Calder, George Condo, Harland Miller, Jean Dubuffet, and KAWS among the artists included. From the jewel-toned chairs to the curved-edged bed frames, interior designer Melissa Bowers (together with Jack J. Sitt) evoked the famous era and the neighborhood's artistic tradition in every element of the room.

The art theme continues on the roof, where Jimmy, a popular nightclub, reigns supreme. However, as part of the new hotel, the design has been updated to match Picasso's Blue Period. Consider dark monochrome, blue modular furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Jimmy is what the early 1900s would look like if they were reborn as a rooftop bar.

If sweet libations from atop a mountain aren't your thing, book a table at the hotel's resident restaurant, which is overseen by Michelin-starred chef George Mendes. In the warmer months, the dining area, appropriately named Veranda, makes good use of its retractable glass roof, providing alfresco eating in an incredibly stylish setting.

The Hotel on Fifth Avenue

Two buildings (the circa 1907 old Second National Bank and a 24-story new-build) are combining to make one luxurious hotel launching this fall on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 28th Street. Despite the fact that the two differing yet complimentary structures are linked, they are very different. There are even different names for them: The former, known as The Mansion, has 24 rooms, while the latter, known as The Tower, has 129. The interiors of both, on the other hand, showcase designer Martin Brudnizki's creative creativity, which perfectly blends old and new.

The Italian brasserie, which was built to replicate an Old World Italian theater with Juliet balconies, high-gloss wooden furnishings, and bare-bulb chandeliers, is perhaps the hotel's most visible embrace of The Mansion's original neoclassical architecture. Plus, just below is a nearly-secret private dining room that looks like it belongs in a little Milanese palazzo.
