Soho Grand Hotel

"Enter the Soho Grand Hotel and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to a different time. From the chic bar to the elite Club Room, this hotel hosts la crème de la crème. Its yearly Black and White Ball on New Years is an homage to the original, transforming the hotel’s luxe lobby into a gala with endless champagne and a stylish dance floor. From the unique glass-bottle staircase (perfect for an Instagram photo) to the hand-painted elevator doors, the interior combines gilded-age grandeur with the playful whimsy of the 1950s and 60s. Sip a classic martini at the bar, or head up to your guest room or suite to admire the vintage decor and relax after a long night of socializing."

"Continuing with the Truman Capote theme, the Soho Grand is putting on its 14th annual Black & White Masquerade Ball—an homage to the writer’s infamous Grand Masked Ball in 1966. ... General admission tickets are $249 per person; but if you really want to splurge, purchase a private table."

"On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Inside, this is industrial design central." - MICHELIN Guide

"On the outside, with its cheery pink brick facade, the SoHo Grand resembles a brand-new shopping complex. But inside is a different story. Cast iron dogs stand guard at industrial design central — square lights, molded concrete walls, a coffee table the size of a grand piano. There’s mesh wire glass everywhere, including on the writing desks in the rooms. The floors are the same stuff you see on New York sidewalks — corrugated steel for the elevators, and cast iron and glass for the stairs." - MICHELIN Guide
