NEW YORK
SoHo’s 60 Thompson has rebranded as SIXTY SoHo, and will debut its new look following a multimillion dollar renovation to all guest rooms and public spaces.
Following the transformation, SIXTY SoHo will aim to exude a classic elegance conveyed through a design that also takes into consideration how guests will interact within the space.
In the lobby areas, a use of handsome color palettes, layered textures, warm lighting and contrasting materials connote a relaxed “members' club” feel. Rich velvets and grey wood paneling act as a backdrop to art pieces created and curated by British artist Harland Miller. The space is punctuated by a selection of mid-century and contemporary furniture.
All 97 newly-designed guest rooms are appointed with planked timber floors combined with leather furnishings and blue mohair accents. Dark timber slatted blinds, a bespoke bar cabinet and a desk in petrol blue lacquer, contribute to the bedroom interiors. London-based Miller has also been commissioned by SIXTY SoHo to create original pieces for the guest rooms.
The 97 guest rooms include 10 Suites with French-balconies overlooking the SoHo neighborhood, and three SIXTY Suites feature separate living rooms. The duplex SIXTY Loft showcases an expansive private roof deck with unobstructed Manhattan skyline views.
SIXTY SoHo will debut several F&B outlets as part of a collaboration with New York City restaurateur John McDonald (Lure Fishbar, B&B Winepub, El Toro Blanco, Bowery Meat Company). Sessanta, a casual restaurant serving coastal Italian fare, will open in early 2015.
Changes will also include the launch of a new hotel lobby bar, opening in November 2014, and new menus for in-room dining and Above SIXTY, the hotel's exclusive guest-only rooftop terrace featuring panoramic views.
Sixty SoHo offers several nontraditional meeting spaces that include the rooftop terrace (hosting up to 150 for receptions) and the 1,800-square-foot SIXTY Loft.
