Concierge

Gayot
"This soaring glass-enclosed space situated along the border of Battery Park City somehow manages to be at once grand but unimposing."
BlackBook
"Guests at this luxe spot are greeted by a towering Sol LeWitt painting in the dramatic atrium, setting the tone for what is veritably a hotel-as-contemporary-art-gallery."
Zagat
