Located in near Times Square New York City, citizenM New York is the first US property in an expanding global collection for the citizenM brand, which currently includes five hotels throughout the Netherlands, and the UK. Headquartered in Amsterdam, citizenM has revolutionized the hospitality experience for today’s modern mobile traveler with its offbeat sensibility and emphasis on affordable luxury, technology and style.
The 230-room New York property offers innovative amenities, including self check-in, completely customizable guest rooms via touchscreen MoodPads, communal workspace and Apple iMac stations, a design partnership with renowned Swiss furniture brand Vitra, an outpost of Amsterdam’s leading creative bookstore MENDO, several outdoor spaces including a rooftop bar with panoramic views, and canteenM – a 24 hour grab & go-style cafeteria featuring an open kitchen with a full-service cocktail and coffee bar. The hotel lobby acts as a central hub for guests with an oversized living room design, soaring 26-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves showcasing an eclectic mix of art and objects from around the world. Like its sister properties, citizenM New York is home to a stunning collection of contemporary art and photography, including two commissioned pieces – a Julian Opie lobby installation and a Jen Liu exterior piece wrapping around the façade of the building — as well as works by Andy Warhol, Daido Moriyama, and David LaChapelle.
