Part of a large 330,000 sf mixed-use redevelopment by the Moinian Group, the 7 Platt Street hotel occupies the first six levels of the building. The developer’s first foray into the micro-hotel trend, the 172-room concept relies on an intelligent use of space and supplementing amenity areas to create a warm, hospitable environment. The ground floor lobby contains a concierge desk, self check-in kiosks, lobby bar, and retail store anchored by a central lounge; additional lounge and co-working space on the mezzanine and cellar levels complete the public offerings.

Sited between the Financial District and the historic South Street Seaport, the hotel pulls influence from both early Art Deco architecture and nods to historic nautical elements. A color palette of limestone, deep green, crimson, and brick are inspired by the neighborhood context while creating contrast and warmth to the many spaces. Challenged by a triple-height volume, the lobby employs a layering of tactile materiality and a low level of lighting to bring a hospitality flair and scale to the lobby lounge. The walls are overlaid with varying textures and reveals to similarly provide a more human scale.

The efficient sized guest rooms required carefully articulated design to maximize space and functionality. Certain design cues were taken from yacht interiors whose integrated millwork, rounded corners, and reconfigurable storage features became a touchstone for the guest rooms.
