For Bill Sofield, who has collaborated with the Hotel from its inception, the Soho Grand incorporates distinct architectural materials and styles that celebrate the two great moments of SoHo’s history; the grandeur of the 1870’s Gilded Age and the luxurious artistry of the 1970’s. The design mirrors the sophisticated, art-forward nature of the neighborhood surrounding it. Sofield created the clean, romantically eclectic spaces with one eye on the street and the other in the heavens, using such historic neighborhood materials as the glass-bottle staircase, the intricate cast-iron detailing, and the majestic masonry columns—all of which create a seamless leap from the streets outside to the finest New York City accommodations inside. Artistry and workmanship is celebrated with hand painted elevator doors, the stunning hand painted silver leaf ceiling in the Salon above the magnificent twin ornamental blackened steel birdcages, and the extraordinary conte drawing over the Grand Stair.

Soho Grand’s guestrooms and suites take cue from the public spaces and feature original furnishings and high end fixtures. Sofield employed rich materials and textures in palettes of chocolate, champagne, and taupe. An appreciation for artistry is visible in the selection of artwork, of custom and vintage pieces, the wire-glass mirror, and the bathroom’s playful wall covering designed by famed New Yorker illustrator, Saul Steinberg.

SoHo, an acronym for South of Houston Street, is the chic district bordered by Houston Street on its north, Canal Street on its south, Broadway on the east, and the Hudson River on the west. SoHo New York conjures glamour, youth, luxury, shopping, and enterprise, all in one short name.

Before the downtown Manhattan neighborhood became an art and shopping mecca, SoHo history reveals the area started as a residential neighborhood. During the 1800s, it transformed into a commercial center that housed such institutions as Lord & Taylor and Tiffany & Co, boasting the neighborhood’s now famous cast-iron warehouse buildings and romantic cobblestone streets. By the time the 1930s arrived with a plan to run the Lower Manhattan Expressway through it, SoHo had become run-down and near-deserted.

Before many more years had passed, however, New York’s artists sought a refuge from the routine of uptown. In the sprawling SoHo loft spaces of the late ‘60s, artists as diverse as Chuck Close, Frank Stella, and Richard Serra started vital bohemian art movements—and subsequently revived the neighborhood. Like it still does today, art poured through the SoHo streets. Buyers, trendsetters, and intellectuals again flocked to the once-forgotten neighborhood. And where artists go, fashion follows.

It was the first hotel built in SoHo in over a century and quickly became an integral part of the neighborhood’s fabric. Sprawling artists’ lofts and elegant cast iron architecture rise over charming cobblestone streets and historic bottle glass detailed sidewalks. Industrial and raw, SoHo’s reputation for creativity and culture has inspired individuals for decades and with countless options, visitors can choose between world famous art galleries, shops, bars, and restaurants while being minutes away from the city’s legendary landmarks and attractions.
