SoHo's first hotel in over 125 years at West Broadway between Canal and Grand Streets received an enthusiastic reception when it opened its doors in August 1996. With its 370 rooms and acclaimed design, the SoHo Grand successfully met the challenge of complementing the world famous Soho Historic District that it calls home. Designed by Helpern Architects and William Sofield, the 370-room hotel evokes the evolution of SoHo's architectural heritage over the past 125 years and reflects the trends visible in SoHo today. All of the materials used in construction are consistent with the existing character of the community. Surrounded by land-marked cast iron buildings, the thriving community of SoHo is a uniquely vibrant quarter of New York with no less than an abundance of shops, art galleries, restaurants and museums.
The Tribeca Grand Hotel - sister to the world renowned SoHo Grand Hotel - is located in the heart of TriBeCa, the rapidly evolving downtown neighborhood that is home to a mix of restaurants, shops, financial institutions and thriving independent film companies. The 203-room hotel boasts an impressive eight story atrium lounge, a plush 100 seat screening room in the lower lobby, and the finest in-room amenities and technological services available. The building's small scale brick façade and cast-iron detailing were designed by Hartz architect John Prince, RA. The interior public spaces were artfully designed by Larry Bogdanow of Bogdanow Partners Architects. Calvin Tsao of Tsao & McKown masterfully designed the guest rooms as a cool counterpoint to the richly detailed public areas. The overall design might best be described as an expansion of the principle of 'form follows function.'
