Situated in Manhattan’s Hudson Square neighborhood, the 122room boutique luxury hotel includes a groundlevel Italian restaurant and bar, Il Principe, run by restaurateur Sean Largotta of Crown Group Hospitality. Separated from the lobby by a fullheight glass partition, the restaurant features a vertical garden wall and 25foot, floortoceiling windows that open to the sidewalk for an indooroutdoor dining experience. “This creates an airy, relaxed environment for diners, making you feel far away from the hustle and bustle of New York City,” Largotta says. Pozzi sourced highgloss imported Italian walnut paneling, chrome fixtures, travertine walls, and blue marble flooring for the project. “To give the restaurant an authentic feel, we imported all the furniture, woodwork, marble, moldings, and leather from Italy,” Largotta says. Old Meets New The industrial chic design draws inspiration from the neighborhood’s early 20thcentury heritage. “We’ve simultaneously combined contemporary and classic, playing off the juxtaposition of raw materials and elegant modern finishes and clean, organic lines,” Largotta says. Curve Hugging Curved lines enhance the feeling of flow that can be found throughout the property. “They also create a nautical feel, which is inspired by the restaurant’s close proximity to the Hudson River,” Largotta says. Secret Garden For more intimate occasions, the private dining room features a vertical garden wall and large skylight. “It was designed with a greenhouse and natural light in mind,” Largotta says. “The wall is visually appealing, and the green is a nice contrast to the dark woods throughout.” Tagged with: DESIGN HOTEL RESTAURANTS NEW YORK CITY HOTELS RELATED ARTICLES BEHIND THE DESIGN DIGITAL EDITION Il Principe at Hotel Hugo August 26, 2014 The Epicurean Hotel Lobby August 6, 2014 citizenM New York Lobby July 2, 2014 Adamus at Silversmith Hotel June 5, 2014 IN THIS ISSUE: Complete guide to hotel franchises How Brand USA pays off big for hotels Five tips to rehab your property SUPPLY LINE: DESIGN The latest design and FF&E products to hotel stylish and profitable.
