ModernHaus SoHo is a sleek luxury retreat in SoHo with thoughtfully designed spaces, intuitive service, and expertly curated art, culinary, and social programs. Situated against the backdrop of iconic cast-iron buildings and cobblestone streets and surrounded by world-class shopping, art galleries, dining, and cultural events, the hotel is designed to be an extension of the local neighborhood’s creative and dynamic spirit, offering easy access to explore many of the city’s must-see attractions set in one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in New York City.
Inspired by the Bauhaus art movement, ModernHaus SoHo’s design focuses on clean lines, geometric harmony, and large windows. Designed by stylist and interior design consultant Melissa Bowers, the design focuses on a minimalist perspective that allows the beauty and energy of the surrounding urban environment to take a prominent role. Each of the 114 guest rooms features panoramic city views with an abundance of natural light, accented by reclaimed wood floors and vibrant artwork, complete with luxurious in-room amenities like slippers by Brunch, bathrobes, Le Labo bath amenities, Frette linens, and more. The hotel’s crown jewel is its Gallery Penthouse, located on the 16th floor with postcard-worthy views of the Manhattan Bridge and the Freedom Tower. Featuring a separate living room and dining room, the 1,300-square-foot open floor plan is perfect for meetings or celebrations of any occasion.
Drawing heavily from the art heritage of the surrounding neighborhood, ModernHaus SoHo features an extensive modern and contemporary art collection. Jack J. Sitt, the CIO of Thor Equities for North America, handpicked each piece in the hotel from his personal collection to create a thoughtfully curated selection. Guests can immerse themselves in the works of renowned artists such as Hans Hartung, George Condo, Harland Miller, Jean Dubuffet, Hans Hofmann, Nicolas Party, and Kaws.
Situated on a second-floor outdoor deck is Twenty Three Grand, a dining destination inspired by its garden-like atmosphere. Helmed by Chef Ashley Rath (Saint Theo’s, Major Food Group’s The Grill and Dirty French, Gramercy Tavern) and from the mind of James Julius (ZZ’s, The Grill, Carbone, Annabel’s), the restaurant offers thoughtfully sourced fare that reinvents classic comfort dishes with a twist.
On the second floor is Jumpin Jacks, a breakfast and cocktail bar in a light-filled lounge area with open views of the city. Serving as the living room of the property, by day Jumpin Jacks offers a high-end coffee program with pastries and to-go options, and at night turns into a destination for guests to unwind with a drink. The design is accented by the lounge’s dramatic ceiling height, with a rich color palette of cognac, amber, and espresso tones, and a curated art collection.
At eighteen stories high, guests will find the rooftop pool bar, Jimmy, a staple of lower- Manhattan nightlife. The rooftop scene is a destination unto itself, surrounded by 14′ windows with panoramic views of downtown Manhattan, the Hudson River, and the bridges spanning the East River.
The hotel’s lower level is home to The Signature Room, a 3,100-square-foot event venue perfect for hosting special moments. The space features a private dining room, striking terrazzo bar, and seating area punctuated by an olive tree – and is capable of being used for gatherings big and small. Additional event space includes 11,000 square feet of outdoor space, which is more space per room than any other hotel in downtown Manhattan.
