Greenwich Hotel, New York R
obert De Niro’s obsessive approach to acting has seen him gain five stone to play the boxer Jake LaMotta in Raging Bull, work for three months as a cabbie in preparation for his lead role in Taxi Driver, and have his teeth ground down to play an ex-con in Cape Fear.
The Hollywood maestro has applied his fanatical perfectionism to create a hotel from scratch on a vacant plot next to his offices in Tribeca. The outcome is a delightful home-from-home, right down to artwork in the lobby created by his late father. The hotel also forms the crown jewel of his real estate holdings in Manhattan’s most fashionable neighbourhood, which also include the Tribeca Film Center, Tribeca Cinemas, and Nobu restaurant. No two of the 88-rooms at the Greenwich are the same. The two penthouse apartments are especially exquisite. The N. Moore is the largest and features soaring 30ft atelier windows, a sauna and steam room and a kitchen stocked with requested groceries upon arrival. MORE INFO
