Rising just off the Queensboro Bridge approach, this hotel presents a slim, lantern-like profile against the Midtown skyline. Dark graphite and charcoal panels frame vertical ribbons of full-height windows, their regular cadence mirroring the bridge’s steel geometry and giving each guest room a picture-frame view of the city. At ground level, a two-story glass lobby—subtly back-lit and angled toward the sidewalk—anchors the façade at pedestrian scale and announces the hotel’s contemporary, city-smart brand.
