The design for the 80,000-square foot, 21-story, 230-room hotel was a collaboration between Amsterdam-based design architect Concrete and New York City-based executive architect Montroy Andersen DeMarco (MADGI). The hotel is modern, elegant, and high-tech, in keeping with the chain’s aesthetic and branding as a whole. The design team focused on optimizing space and quality, while maintaining citizenM’s scale and design standards.
The property offers numerous innovative amenities, including self check-in, highly customizable guestrooms through touchscreen MoodPads, communal workspace and Apple iMac stations, a design partnership with a renowned Swiss furniture brand Vitra, an outpost of Amsterdam’s leading creative bookstore MENDO, several outdoor spaces, including a rooftop bar with panoramic views of Manhattan, and canteen – a 24-hour grab & go-style cafeteria featuring an open kitchen with a full-service cocktail and coffee bar. The canteen offers locally-sourced food and beverage from select New York shops such as Puddin’ NYC, Stone Street coffee, Brooklyn Gin, Mast Brothers Chocolate, and Il Laboratoria del Gelato.
