60 Thompson is Soho’s latest contribution to the increasingly popular luxury boutique hotel genre in New York. This 100-room new hotel was built on a site that formerly hosted an ornamental metal shop in a quiet street in Soho. It offers its guests a retreat from city life, standing discreetly behind and protected by a courtyard of birch trees. Guests are able to enjoy privacy and luxury without sacrificing location or style. Filled with sumptuous design details and amenities, it’s located close to art, food, and fashion, while Manhattan’s mid-town business center is not far off.

Stephen B. Jacobs Group, P.C., known for preservation and a pioneer of loft and industrial building conversions, designed the building. Aero Studios, who does work for Ralph Lauren and Giorgio Armani, designed the warm and handsome interiors. The hotel reflects the rhythms of metropolitan New York, translating them into an intimate scale of grand yet understated elegance. The restaurant, Thom, by the well-known proprietors of Indochine and Bond St. is located in the 2nd floor lounge and bar and a street side cafe will open later this year. Abstract photographs adorn the walls of the hotel, and a duplex penthouse loft with private garden deck sits atop the twelve-story building.
