I'm allergic to bathing suits, and I look like a lobster after 10 minutes in the sun, so the beach is off for me. I love the mountains, but I decided that I wanted a little more activity, so NYC here I come.
I found this amazing boutique hotel in Soho...The Crosby Street Hotel...and it's the first class retreat I was looking for. It's the first Amercan venture of London hoteliers Tim and Kit Kemp and the flagship hotel of their Firmdale hotel group. There are 86 individually designed rooms (by Kit herself) with quirky, comfy and cozy as her design esthetic. Every ammenity that you could ask for has been provided for guests, and it's become a favored spot for visting rich and famous....You know that's me!
It's going to be a great trip even if never leave the hotel....come along with me, won't you?
Entry from the street and meet the Mondo cat....ok....a little weird, but at least you know to expect the unexpected. Afterall, it's Soho.
Another view of the lobby...yes, it's a head...and a plastic dog...I'm not going to ask.....
A pink lobby....
Do you love the pebbles on the columns?
A bench....for plants. I love the organic shape against the straight lines of the windows.
Ready to see your room, Madam?
OMG....how chic!
Pink and coral and white....Oh MY!
Of course, we have a suite.
Anyone know whose fabric this is? I'm n love!
I love the introduction of the gray stripes on the walls.
The dress form, the lamps, the mirror....
TV anyone?
A glass of wine with your bubble bath?
Now that we're all relaxed, let's explore!
Tea in the drawing room? I prefer champangne!
Or the library?.....where's the books?
Then drinks in "Refuel" the restaurant/bar.
Dinner party in one of several private dining rooms.
Then it's off to the screening room to catch up on all the movies I've missed this year.
I've heard that people actually leave their hotel rooms to explore NYC, but there's so much design magic going on in The Crosby Soho, that I may never leave.
There's tons of eye candy in each of these spaces. What's your fav?
