5 questions for… Amanda Ross Global Fashion Director, W Hotels
As a stylist and fashion expert, did you ever dream of working for a lifestyle brand such as W Hotels? Fashion brands have recently evolved into lifestyle brands, and consulting for existed at W Hotels, but I have always dreamed of owning a lifestyle concept store with my twin sister. We’re from New York, and W Hotels was born in New York, so curating and directing product for W Hotels The Store is part of my new role and truly a dream for me.
Talk about your new role and some of your fashionforward aspirations for the brand? I’m working on several projects: hiring a brand/designer to create the uniforms for the new hotels, and room styling for upcoming W hotels, including Paris, from a U.S. phenomenon to a global powerhouse, opening nine new hotels for all of these exciting projects. Fashion is a great complement to design and functions in a way that keeps the hotels part of the current zeitgeist.
How will you amp up W Hotels’ style and connection with the fashion industry? W Hotels has been involved in the fashion world for years, from its VIP backstage lounge at New York Fashion Week to its partnerships with the next level. As a brand W is always on the cutting edge of what is ‘cool’ and ‘now,’ and I am in the midst of guiding the W team to what’s next in fashion. The industry is attracted to the fact that there is a fashion director at W, someone who speaks their language, and I hope that opens a lot of doors.
What does the ideal hotel uniform look like?
need to be updated. They should be the perfect backdrop to great interiors.
What’s hip and stylish in hotels today? Furniture, books, and lamps you want to buy. One stop shop. Great food, a nightclub when you are in the mood. And great comfort in the rooms that really make you feel like going to hotels is a necessary part of life.

still on top Even though emerging destinations and second-tier markets have been dominating development talks, the city that never sleeps has been quietly living up to its reputation. A slew of new hotels have opened in the last year in New York, everywhere from Midtown to Wall Street, and every brand seems to be getting in on the action.
Andaz New York is a focus for Hyatt’s new brand, Andaz. First up: Andaz Wall Street, which opened in January. “Once a guest arrives, the experience is casual, informal, and personal, as if you’re being greeted at someone’s home,” says David Rockwell, who handled the hotel’s design. “Both the service and the design work together to remove the barriers between guest and host, and that continues from the reception, to the lobby, the bar, restaurant, and the guestrooms.” With that in mind, the traditional lobby bar is replaced by a series of three standing backlit bar islands featuring glowing graphic art panels with abstract ribbon patterns silkscreened onto the glass. Wall & Water restaurant continues the
one of Rockwell’s favorite features is the lobby’s dramatic staircase, made of a continuous ribbon of pearlescent steel and stone treads. “It evokes the shape restaurant, and lower level banquet spaces,” he says.

Chatwal New York When the Chatwal New York opens in July (named after Sant Chatwal, CEO of Hampshire Hotels & Resorts), it will restore a prohibition-era city landmark: the former Lambs Club building, once the center of theater and entertainment, built in 1905 by Stanford White. With the building as inspiration, Thierry Despont’s design is a nod to the glamour of early 20th century travel and Art Deco. “I wanted to create a unique New York experience where guests would feel the energy and vibrancy of the city while being at the center of today’s world,” he says. A patterned brown terrazzo in the two-story lobby, wood wall panels have metal trims, a sepia toned mural of a New York cityscape runs the height of the lobby, and reception desks are done with chrome centerpiece (a gift from White), the restaurant will have a men’s club feel, thanks to dark lacquered wood panels and

In the 88 guestrooms, desks and closets are reminiscent of designer luggage, walls are lined in ultrasuede, and bathrooms are swathed in tinted marble and mirrors; the color of the wall and bathroom is one of three color schemes: burgundy/ochre, blue/gray, or yellow/brown. And the must see is the below ground spa and pool.
Distrikt Hotel “Many hotels currently seek to shock or overwhelm their patrons, but at the Distrikt, the goal was to provide a comfortable experience that would also excite visitors about the city in which they are staying,” says handled the design. He and his team employed nods to the city throughout the 155-room hotel—an abstract map carved into the lobby millwork, stone of Grand Central Station, room layouts reminiscent of loft living, stenciled district names in and around elevators, and a green wall honoring the city parks in the lobby. Eye-catching custom lighting, fabric, on artist Chris Rubino to translate more than 10,000 photographs that Lisowski and the design team took of different neighborhoods into a colorful series of 32 variations of 10 UWS, Midtown West, Midtown East, Chelsea, the Village, Soho, Tribeca, Lower East Side, and the Financial District. “The composite pieces allow for a new discovery each time they are viewed, much like the neighborhoods themselves,” Lisowski says.

Kimpton Kimpton is bringing two hotels to unlikely neighborhoods. “The hotel itself is driven by events,” says New York designer Colum McCartan of Eventi (“event” in Italian) near Penn Station.

Other property highlights include a screening room with a 1,600-square-foot terrace and a soon-to-open eatery from China Grill Management and outdoor plaza with a 20-foot LCD screen. Meanwhile, Ink48, which opened last fall, was designed to recall the space it’s housed in— an old printing factory built in 1929—with some industrial materials into the design as a celebration of that history,” says Ed Bakos, principal at Rockwell Group. Elements like the building’s original concrete columns remain in the lobby, horsehair brushes are the elevator’s feature wall focus, and tables in Print restaurant are made with copper and blackened metal. Elsewhere, the designers drew inspiration from the city—the lobby interprets the idea of a pocket park wood; guestrooms take cues from New York-style lofts with dramatic views, contrasting textures, and walnut furniture; and the rooftop lounge’s penthouse terrace’s backbar has glowing colored acrylic boxes attached to a bronze mirror to create a replica of the skyline. Yet the

Fashion 26 — A Wyndham Hotel It was all about location for the Garment District‘s Fashion 26 - A Wyndham Hotel, which is also situated near the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). “Although we were hired to design all of the interior spaces, we were also hired to give the hotel a personality,” says Glen Coben of Glen & Company. The 280 guestrooms and public spaces don a stylish look based on American garment making, with elements taking cues from fashion as well as fashion studios— furniture legs on the front desk take inspiration from the sewing machine table and guestrooms showcase dark blue pinstriped carpet, circular patterned wallcoverings, and small chairs that double as an ottoman. Coben also wanted art to play an important role so he had artist Devorah Sperber create a spool installation in the lobby and guestroom and room key photography by Stacy Bass shows detailed garment making.
