New York’s Craziest New Suite

image003

Dream Downtown announced the debut of its newly completed GuestHouse, a luxurious 2,500-square-foot duplex penthouse suite set atop the iconic hotel’s south tower. Distinctive features include a spacious garden terrace with glass-bottom Jacuzzi, furniture by Minotti, an oversized walk-in closet and dressing area, state-of-the-art lighting, climate and entertainment technology by Savant Systems, as well as exclusive amenities including a Vibes Curator, Sneaker Stylist, private barista and personal security guard.

The $1 million transformation overseen by Josh Held Design is striking with modern, maximalist interiors that mix circular patterns and textures with clean lines to emulate the hotel’s porthole façade. From upholstery to wall finishes, every element is custom-made.

“Our team deconstructed and married various influences, including mid-century modern and classic designs, to create something edgy, bold, new and unrivaled,” said Josh Held, president of Josh Held Designs. “The end-result is a space that evokes fantasy and holds true to Dream’s contemporary styling.”

As you walk through the space, the main floor reveals a master bedroom with a California King bed and an adjacent walk-in closet. Inside the closet, Dream Downtown collaborated with celebrity hairstylists Franck Izquierdo, Leo Izquierdo, Aaron Grenia and Chase Kusero of the hotel’s recently launched IGK Salon, to design a custom vanity complete with champagne bar. The vanity is a perfect location for guests to indulge in private blowout appointments and make-up applications from IGK salon professionals.

The sprawling living room features unique attributes including a charcoal plaster ceiling, a wall-to-wall, built-in bookcase that discretely unfolds into a custom murphy bed for additional sleeping accommodations, and a Savant home automation system that enables guests to control and enjoy music of their choice from any room in the suite via a dedicated mobile app.

Guests can ascend one of two spiral staircases to reach the suite’s private garden terrace. The outdoor space features dramatic views of the city and is decorated with topiaries, a fireplace, outdoor shower and glass-bottom Jacuzzi that can be seen from the living room below.

Dream Downtown’s resident Vibe Curator is available to consult on everything to set the perfect vibe for your party from creating playlists to stocking essentials. Suite guests can even kick it with the hotel’s Sneaker Stylist, whose unparalleled network offers rare access to limited-edition sneakers available for purchase. There is also a private barista available to prepare and serve espressos and coffees personalized to each guest’s needs, and personal security services for guests who value their privacy.

The newly renovated GuestHouse further emphasizes Dream Downtown’s signature high-end, high-energy New York experience. Rates for the new GuestHouse start from $5,000 per night. To book a stay or learn more about Dream Downtown, please call 212.229.2559 or visit www.dreamdowntown.com.
