New York City's Soho Grand Hotel Is On The Lower East Side Of New York, Half
An Hour From La Guardia Airport, And 35 Minutes From Jfk Airport.
Soho's Creative Roots First Emerged In The 1880s, When The Textile
Industry Established Houses In This Industrial District, And Its Destiny
Was Further Woven When Area Architects Began Using Cast Iron As Structural
And Architectural Elements. This Foray Helped Create Eye-pleasing,
Large, Airy Structures From Dimly Gas-lit Rooms Structurally Supported
Only By Wood Columns. In The 1950s, A Trend Of Beauty Drew Artists
Looking For A Place To Call Home.
With A Nod To The Past, The Soho Grand's Lobby Features A Suspended
Cast Iron Stairway To The 2nd Floor, Where Guests Can Indulge In People-watching
Or Intimate Conversation. Artistic Eyes Will Delight In The Soho Grand's
Lobby, Which Is Cutting Edge Chic With Sixteen Foot Windows Draped
With Muslin And Velvet, A Mercury Glass Ceiling Unexpectedly Accented
With Chicken Wire, And Upholstered Pieces In A Mix Of Textiles From
1800s Patterns To Modern Fabric Designs. Commissioned Works By Soho
Artists Are Displayed Throughout The Hotel's Public Spaces And Guestrooms,
And Some Are Available For Purchase. Guests Can Dine In The Opulent
Grand Bar & Lounge Or In The Art-filled Gallery Restaurant.
