Housed in an iconic 1920s brick building, The Renwick Hotel New
York City, Curio Collection by Hilton is located just two blocks
from Grand Central Station and a short walk to Bryant Park, the New
York Public Library and bustling Times Square. Complete with 173
guest rooms and suites, the fully-renovated property takes
inspiration from its days as a residence for intellectuals and
literati, with unique interiors designed to pay homage to culture
and art from the Roaring Twenties.
“As one of the world’s most vibrant and dynamic cities, New York
affords travelers singular moments unlike any other cultural
destination in the world,” said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio – A
Collection by Hilton. “Thus, The Renwick is an ideal hotel for
Curio’s first foray into Manhattan. Its artful, luxurious design
epitomizes our commitment to offering travelers distinctive
hand-picked properties, each with its own character and story to
tell.”
Named after acclaimed architect James Renwick Jr. (who designed
St. Patrick’s Cathedral), the hotel has been completely renovated
by renowned New York-based architecture and interior design firm
Stonehill & Taylor.
Each of the hotel’s gallery rooms and residential-style suites
is fashioned as a stylish enclave to inspire both comfort and
creativity, with easels and paint, writing paper and ink, inspired
artwork and literature complementing its modern and upscale
amenities. Guest rooms contain unique pieces, both functional and
standalone, created by more than 20 local artists – such as each
room’s hand painted New York City skyline drapes, artist stools and
ceramic pen cups that feature pages from F. Scott Fitzgerald's
"Great Gatsby."
Several intriguing design elements – exclusive to The Renwick --
are evident in the hotel’s public areas, as well. String art and a
mixed-media mural are featured in the lobby. Stairwells and
bathrooms are graced with one-of-a-kind murals paying tribute to
the building’s former tenants; and Brooklyn-based Apotheke supplies
handmade bath amenities created solely for the hotel.
The Renwick Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton is home to the
first solo restaurant from award-winning Chef John DeLucie. Bedford
and Co. offers contemporary American cuisine in a vibrant setting
that fuses art, culture and a powerhouse menu of shareable plates
and bold mains from the restaurant’s wood fire grill. Seasonal
menus are distinguished by a variety of modern American dishes,
while a refined beverage program features a rotating menu of
Prohibition era-style artisan cocktails.
“The heart of Manhattan is a perfect locale for The Renwick, an
art-inspired hotel with a distinguishing character,” said Blair
Wills, President/COO, StepStone Hospitality. “By joining Curio – A
Collection by Hilton, we are able to delight curious travelers who
are drawn to unique hotels like ours, with a style all its
own.”
