Inspired by Frankfurt city and its position as a global financial hub the hotel is designed to accommodate the Global Business traveler. This traveler has sophisticated tastes so the hotel should offer a smart modern approach in presenting its new guest accommodation.

As Frankfurt is often known as the Mini Manhattan or ‘Mainhatten’, after that other famous economic hub in New York – the approach was to reflect the tastes of the city living global traveller.

Manhattan Lofts and Condo Interiors are marked by their eclectic approach, full of the things that their owners have picked up on their travels – their home is full of the things they love, have bought whilst travelling and arrange in an ad-hoc fashion.

Iconic pieces purchased on their travels, reminders of holidays or business trips, but now part of their home.

Hudson Yards Lounge Bar

The new Hudson Yards Bar, resembles a typical New York bar, with brass gantry shelving, custom counter lights, brass foot stops and front facing custom coloured Rancilio Barista Machine. The perfect place to kick back in the day or evening to enjoy a beverage, snack or dine in style. The bar is adaptable, with the back bar having swing doors closing a ‘day’ focus section, for coffee and cakes - to reveal a ‘night’ time set up of cocktails and spirits. The hotel is providing guests with an inspiration of New York with a local twist, in its food and beverage offering at Hudson Yards.

The overall style has a sense of heritage, with a focus on natural leathers, elegant veneers, Verde Alpi Marble, and brass. The colours are strong and invigorating with only 3 or 4 colours used to dress the interior.

Check-In

The lobby, check-in, and lobby bar have all undergone a combination of hard/soft refurbishment. Completed last in the overall refurbishment program the existing layout could not change significantly but the look and feel needed to keep pace with new guest rooms and suites, which had already been mostly completed and had already received fabulous guest reviews.

The approach was to both to become a new destination for locals and to create a bar, a lounge, and a new expanded dining experience – emphasising a new F&B approach for the hotel and offering guests a truly unique experience

A new check-in area is created with individual check-in pods, hosts are now more accessible to guests during check-in, with the overall effect purposely resembling a concierge desk at a New York residential high rise. The check-in pods are rounded in shape incorporating natural Rosso Levanto marble, copper mesh, and walnut veneer, lighting overhead is custom designed by the designer to float over the check-in area and give it a relaxed comfortable feel.
