The intersection of Crosby and Warren

The Warren Street Hotel, Tribeca

GETAWAYS • Staycation

The Warren Street Hotel, which debuted earlier this month in Tribeca, is this season’s highest profile hotel opening. With a dazzling cerulean blue facade of floor-to-ceiling windows, it’s a striking addition to the neighborhood. FOUND dropped by last week. 

• First impressions: As befits the latest spot from England’s Firmdale Hotels — the team behind Soho’s Crosby Street Hotel and Midtown’s Whitby — the interior palate is vibrant and fun, with wild fabrics and dramatic art throughout ground floor common spaces. 

• The rooms: That aesthetic continues in the 69 rooms spread across 11 floors, with wildly patterned headboards crowning most beds. One notable touch: top floor rooms are designed for stays of 30-plus days, featuring first-NYC-apartment-sized kitchenettes (albeit with tonier finishes). For a mid-March weekend night, a standard king runs $925/night.

• Food & drink: From the lobby, turn right into the Warren Street Bar and Restaurant, with a long bar at front, plenty of tables, and, at rear, a separate glassed-in room (the Orangerie), bookable for private parties and, soon, high tea service. 

• The verdict: A lively new alternative to the nearby Greenwich Hotel and an instant contender for our New Guard Hotels Nines (though maybe not the top slot, still reserved for the current king, Nine Orchard).
