A hotel creates an authentic experience for visiting guests and the local community, with a nod to the neighborhood’s historic character.
The Hoxton is a place to sleep, work, eat, and play any time of the day. The project is set on the former factory grounds of Rosenwach, the maker of the iconic water towers that dot the New York skyline. Perkins Eastman brought a nine-story boutique hotel to life, including a historic warehouse renovation, working alongside developers at Ennismore.
Featured in the design is variegated brick derived from the original factory and a dark gray corrugated metal tower, the building maintains long-standing neighborhood characteristics. In the center of the courtyard, a cantilevered tower structure rests dramatically on a sculptural steel column, creating a dynamic entryway. Uniquely arranged and efficiently designed, guest rooms are compact, yet airy and comfortable. Common spaces include a rooftop dining establishment with breathtaking views; an all-day restaurant with outdoor areas, and a multi-media courtyard with bleacher-style seating for casual gatherings.
