Chambers
New York, United States[view map]
- Style
- Elegant, affluent
- Setting
- Midtown west
Just when you thought you'd seen most urban design tricks, this modernist midtown Manhattan boutique hotel pulls a few surprises out of the bag: concrete in the bathroom, unplastered ceiling and exposed pipes for the fire sprinkler and a desk befitting a graphic designer (pot of sharp coloured pencils and a role of tracing paper to doodle on). In contrast, the furnishings at Chambers are cosy, with a palette of soft aubergine, gentle lime green and muted taupe. Heavy suede curtains block out the outside. Industrial lamps match the concrete ceiling for contemporary edge, but underfloor heating means that cool urban look never gets chilly.
