SAN FRANCISCO
Commune Hotels & Resorts is bringing its native California brand, Joie de Vivre Hotels, cross-country as part of a national expansion, setting its sights on NYC and Miami.
With the opening of two Joie de Vivre hotels in these primary gateway cities, Commune hopes to establish the brand's foothold on the East Coast, adding to its existing presence in Hawaii, the Midwest, Southwest and West Coast regions.
The new properties will consist of 50 Bowery, a new-build project in New York, and The Hall in Miami Beach, a redevelopment effort of a previous lodging.
New York City
A new 22-story, 229-room Joie de Vivre hotel will arrive on the Bowery, just steps from the Manhattan Bridge at the crossroads of Chinatown, Nolita, the Lower East Side and East Tribeca. The new construction will incorporate historic elements into a contemporary design.
Developed by 50 Bowery Holdings, LLC, the modern tower will feature a cellar lounge and a rooftop bar with panoramic views of the city's skyline.
The project at 50 Bowery is slated to open in 2016.
Miami Beach
Originally designed by architect L. Murray Dixon, The Hall sits in the heart of Miami Beach's Art Deco District at 15th Street and Collins Avenue.
It's located steps away from the open-air pedestrian mall Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive, The Fillmore Miami Beach at Jackie Gleason Theater, and the New World Symphony.
The new 164-room Joie de Vivre Miami Beach property will feature numerous amenities, as well as a courtyard with an indoor/outdoor restaurant, a beer garden, library, bar and swimming pool. The Hall is slated to open in summer 2015.
