Hotel Clara

During the early 1900s, as the garment district flourished with the help of many immigrant women from eastern Europe, there began a push for equal work environments for women, thus the early feminist movement began. Being a prominent time in history, many were striving to get equal rights for women by striking, peacefully protesting, and proving what they deserve.

The overall design of the hotel will focus on femininity. The name for Hotel Clara comes from Clara Lemlich a young Jewish immigrant from Ukraine who inspired thousands of women to fight for improved working conditions in the garment industry. She was the leader of the 1909 Shirtwaist Strike.

With the uses of different materials, the lobby has a warm and inviting atmosphere. There are gathering spaces throughout the lobby enabling the guests a place to sit and relax, as well as to interact with one another and a chance to share their story

Bread and Roses Restaurant

During the early 1900s, as the garment district flourished with the help of many immigrant women from eastern Europe, there began a push for equal work environments for women, thus the early feminist movement began. Being a prominent time in history, many were striving to get equal rights for women by striking, peacefully protesting, and proving what they deserve.

The name for Bread and Roses comes from Rose Schneiderman was a Jewish immigrant from Saven, Poland. Her famous phrase “The woman worker needs bread, but she needs roses too” captures the morality that guided her long and impactful career as an internationally recognized leader for the American working women.

Materials used throughout the bar and restuarant, in contrast to the neighboring Hotel Clara are dark, heavy, and regal. A more moody atmosphere is portrayed on this side of the hotel giving it a juxtopostion to the light and airy lobby. This space is tended to be a step back in time as you walk through the doors and enter a old world atmosphere.
