Dream Downtown Hotel New York, NY

Dream Downtown Hotel is a 184,000 sq. ft. (17,000 m²) boutique hotel in the Chelsea neighbourhood of New York City. The 12-story building, designed by Frank Fusaro (Handel Architects LLP), includes 316 guest rooms, two restaurants, rooftop and VIP lounges, outdoor pool and pool bar, a gym, event space, and ground floor retail.Dream_Downtown_Hotel_6 Dream_Downtown_Hotel_5

Originally designed for the Maritime Union in 1966, the building was converted into a hotel, which created design opportunities as well as constraints. The original façade was punched with porthole windows to express the maritime program, and these were kept and expanded upon. The portholes became central to the design and the surreal quality they create. The original through block building offered limited possibilities for natural light, so four floors were removed from the center of the building, which created a new pool terrace and beach, new windows and balconies for guest rooms, along with two new floors of guest rooms on the southern portion of the building.Dream_Downtown_Hotel_13 Dream_Downtown_Hotel_10 Dream_Downtown_Hotel_14 Dream_Downtown_Hotel_16

To the north, a glass enclosed roof-top lounge and terrace was created. The glass bottom pool, dotted with portholes of its own, allows guests in the lobby glimpses through the water to the outside (and vice versa), and connects the spaces in an ethereal way. Light wells framed in teak between the lobby, pool and lower levels allow the guest to be transported between spaces.dream lobby angle day final dream lobby day final dream lobby night angle final

Decked out in Italian Portoro marble, Macassar ebony, nickel finish walls and amber Venini glass chandeliers, this is the ultimate penthouse party.Dream_Downtown_Hotel_21

An unconventional downtown oasis, The Beach consists of nearly 5,000 square feet of imported sand, Cote D’Azur-inspired chaise lounges, two private cabanas with flat-screen televisions, a DJ booth, and a partially translucent glass-bottom swimming pool looking into our hotel lobby.
