Housed in the historic 1912 Jarmulowsky Bank building, Nine Orchard is a masterclass in Neo-Renaissance restoration. The architecture is breathtaking, featuring vaulted ceilings and Tennessee marble floors that serve as a backdrop for bold art and plush banquettes. The vibe is undeniably swish, blending old-world opulence in the public spaces with a “cool-kid” energy that feels like a quintessential New York stay.
The 113 guest rooms offer a serene contrast to the maximalist lobby, instead leaning into a calm, mid-century modern aesthetic with muted palettes and graphic artworks. My Studio King felt spacious and airy, boasting large windows with gorgeous city vistas and a bathroom featuring a roomy walk-in shower. Beyond the rooms, the dining scene is the hotel’s crown jewel. The Swan Room, located in the former bank teller hall, is a decadent spot for cocktails and elevated snacks like caviar fries, while the Corner Bar offers a cozy, bistro-inspired menu.
Service here is efficient and “no-nonsense” in a classic New Yorker fashion, though the staff’s genuine warmth shines through in the bars and lounges. The location is unrivaled for shoppers, situated at the top of Orchard Street—recently ranked among the coolest streets in the world by Time Out—and surrounded by indie boutiques like Sandy Liang. And while the hotel lacks a spa or pool, it makes up for it with a stylish gym and stunning event spaces like the rooftop greenhouse.
Time Out tip: Don’t miss the guest-only lounge on the first floor, which features a real roaring fireplace—it’s the perfect cozy spot.
