Setting

Steps from Union Square

Meet the Twenty Two New York, Manhattan’s most alluring autumn debutante, set to open early in 2025. Like its London sibling, this new hotel and members’ club just off Union Square promises plenty of heritage glamor. Its historic nine-storey brownstone has been reinvented as a layer-cake of art deco bars, sultry suites and candle-flickered terraces. But collaborations with the city’s contemporary tastemakers, including high-tech spa treatments and an allstar-led Levantine restaurant, anchor things firmly in the 21st century.

Our favourite rooms

The Margo Suite is the obvious, glamor-dripping showstopper — a lavish penthouse apartment with vaulted ceilings and plenty of living space. That said, all room types have plush club chairs, Italian marble bathrooms and Rivolta Carmignani linens, so none exactly stint on sumptuousness. The Deluxe rooms’ south-facing windows have us hooked on the idea of basking cat-like in all that natural light.

Packing tips

Plan your footwear according to your approach to NYC sightseeing: Manolo Blahniks for capering Carrie Bradshaw-style around Manhattan, sturdy flats to rack up the miles like a true flâneur.

Also

There's the full gamut of Technogym equipment in the fitness room, but steel yourself — the parquet floor and moody wood panelling could seduce you into seeking out a martini instead. Luckily, personal trainers are on hand, lest you give in to temptation.

Pet‐friendly

Small, well-behaved pooches are welcome to stay for a flat fee of $100 plus tax each. See more pet-friendly hotels in New York.

Children

Welcome. Free baby cribs can be added to all room types on request, and staff can arrange a babysitter or nanny at extra cost with advance notice.

Food and Drink

Top Table

An art-strung alcove in Cafe Zaffri, so the jewel-like dishes at least have a little competition for your attention.

Dress Code

‘Come as you are’ is the Twenty Two’s motto, but a little added sparkle won’t go amiss in Cafe Zaffri’s sumptuous dining room.

Hotel restaurant

Sybarites are in safe hands at Cafe Zaffri, the Twenty Two’s ground-floor restaurant. While your eyes feast on the gilded floral wallpaper and glowing stained glass ceiling, you’ll be feasting on dishes devised by New York’s coolest culinary quartet. Restaurateurs Jennifer and Nicole Vitagliano, chef Mary Attea and pastry chef Camari Mick made waves with their Noho neighborhood spots, Raf’s and the Musket Room, so Cafe Zaffri is an anticipated opening among in-the-loop locals — and we’re first in line. Menus will play with traditional Levantine and Mediterranean flavors, pairing familiar staples like pistachio, tahini and aubergine with arak and creamy jibneh cheese. At lunch, choose from prettily plated mezze or a full skewer service, when kebabs are served with fragrant Lebanese rice. The evening menu features heartier plates including harissa grilled octopus and saffron-laced crab spaghetti. And for a taste of Mick’s pastry prowess, the kataifi mille-feuille is a feat of layered flavor.

We’re excited to see what chefs Attea and Mick rustle up for the Members’ Restaurant, too, where you’ll be able to slip away from the Manhattan buzz for a quieter meal. Please note that details regarding access for hotel guests to the members' areas are still in the works for now. 

Hotel bar

The drinks list for the Bar Lounge is still in the works, but between the art deco details, throne-like tub chairs and decadent textiles in shades of umber and ochre, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more fitting spot to sip a French 75. The Skylight Lounge’s menu is still under wraps, too, but we’ll be seated for the sunlight streaming in through the glass ceiling alone. There’s also the more laidback members- and guests-only lounge, where a small bar and sink-into-me sofas provide the blueprint for a seriously cozy evening in. Or burn the midnight oil up on the 9th Floor, where there’s a nightclub and a leafy terrace made for skyline-gazing.

Room service

Order up from the separate room service menu during restaurant hours, between 8am and 11pm (available around the clock after the first week of February 2025).

Location

Address
The Twenty Two New York
16 East 16th Street
New York City
10003
United States

You’ll find the Twenty Two New York in a historic brownstone building on East 16th Street, a minute’s stroll from Union Square Park.

Planes

Take your pick from JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Westchester County Airport – the drive from each takes around 45 to 90 minutes, depending on the time of day. Wherever you touch down, the hotel can arrange transfers from the airport on request.

Trains

Amtrak and Long Island Railroad services run to and from Penn Station’s Moynihan Train Hall, an eight-minute drive away. Staff can arrange transfers from the station. Your local subway station is 14th Street–Union Square, a five-minute stroll from the hotel.

Automobiles

There’s no private car park, but public parking is available in the garage next to the hotel. And a system for valet parking is in the works.

Worth getting out of bed for

Union Square Park is a prime spot for art-pondering and people-watching at any time, but head there on Monday, Wednesday, Friday or Saturday to stock up on artisanal produce at the Greenmarket. You’re within walking distance of a varied gaggle of museums and galleries — the Whitney Museum for modern art aficionados, the Rubin for a rundown of the central Asian art scene, the Museum of Sex to quicken the pulse, and the National Museum of Mathematics to slow it right back down again. Otherwise, unleash your inner hipster in the indie boutiques and cafés of Greenwich Village, or explore the East Village’s record shops and dive bars — both neighborhoods are a doable stroll from the hotel.

Local restaurants

ABC Kitchen puts the emphasis on local, organic produce, working with a network of farmers to fuel the restaurant’s feel-good seasonal menus. ABC Cocina is its Latin-influenced sister spot with the same sustainable ethos. If you can’t get enough of the Twenty Two’s Cafe Zaffri, it’s worth checking out Raf’s, the same powerhouse team’s French-Italian bistro, or the Musket Room, their fine-dining restaurant.

Local cafés

Coffee buffs, prepare to pledge yourself to Devoción, a Colombian craft roastery with a focus on hyper-freshness — the beans’ journey from plant to cup can take as little as 10 days.

Local bars

A short walk away, Singlish is an intimate spot celebrating Singaporean flavors in its craft cocktail menu. Or wander into the Village for untold numbers of chic neighborhood watering holes — Dante is a long-standing local favorite for a mid-afternoon martini.

Anonymous review

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this hotel and members’ club in Manhattan and unpacked their futuristic skincare products and farmers’ market finds, a full account of their Big Apple break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside the Twenty Two New York…

We don’t know about you, but we’re already feeling Twenty Two — that is, the Twenty Two New York, a hotel and members’ club set to illuminate a turn-of-the-century mansion in Union Square this autumn. Two collabs had us instantly on board; in-room treatments courtesy of superstar spa the Well, and a Levantine restaurant from a team pre-approved by both Michelin and the Manhattan in-crowd.

But really, this place is an antidote to the skyscraping midtown modernity. A glance at the art deco-accented interiors, and it’s no stretch to imagine leisurely lunches seeping into unhurried evenings, where good conversation is washed down with white Russians whisked to your club chairs. For Gatsby-esque carousing, there’s a ninth-floor nightclub in the works. And if the city-gazing terraces prompt thoughts of hands tugged away for starlit trysts…well, then that’s where the rooms, seductively clad in dark wood and jewel-tone textiles, come in. The roaring twenties have swung back around, and we know where we’re staying.
