We’re calling all design nerds to convene at this visual masterpiece of a Tribeca boutique hotel.
Kit Kemp needs little introduction, with a delightful selection of hotels under her belt.
This includes other NYC boutique hotels the Crosby and the Whitby, both known for top-notch design and a certain amount of whimsy.
No surprises here, but Warren Street Hotel stands out for its more intense maximalism and more residential Tribeca setting.
Patterns meets other patterns through perfectly complementary colors schemes, each room developing a visual language of its own that more or less defines categorization.
It’s one of those spaces you’ll never stop looking at, finding new detail after new detail.
You almost couldn’t blame the company for resting on design and letting the rest of the hotel experience go, but we’re glad they sure didn’t.
Service is on point, amenities are solid, and even the views are excellent.
What are the rooms like?
- Number of rooms:: 69
- Maximalist vibe: Every room showcases its own design personality.
- Range of options: From Superior Rooms to sprawling three-bedroom suites.
- Terrace favorites: Warren Terrace Suites offer private outdoor space.
- See each room in detail here
Every room is a work of beauty. They all have a slightly different vibe, but the vision is strong and cohesive.
That’s the magic of the maximalist design. You like florals? You’ve got ’em. More of a stripe person? Also here.
All for the bold colors? Not even close to a problem.
Of course, not all designers could mix and match this much without the rooms feeling busy and cluttered.
That’s why Warren Street and all its cousins are at the top of the game, and why we send you here first.
Types run from 330 square foot Superior Rooms with king beds up through cute Junior Suites to a sprawling, luxurious 3-bedroom.
Yet, unless you need three rooms, the Warren Terrace Suites are probably our favorites.
You can book two at a time if you need two beds, otherwise just the king bedroom and 450 square foot terrace should do it.
They’ve managed to fit beautifully upholstered seating, working areas, and TVs into even the most basic rooms.
The basic granite bathrooms could be cuter, but at this point, we just feel like we should find something to criticize.
What are prices like?
And what’s the food like? Any facilities we should know about?
- Restaurant art piece: Dining room doubles as a design gallery.
- Diverse menu: From ceviche to gnocchi to oysters and cheese plates.
- Signature indulgences: Martini Hour and Afternoon Tea stand out.
- Rooftop terrace: Bright spot for private drinks or events.
- Limited extras: No gym or spa.
In the least surprising turn of events this website has ever seen, the onsite restaurant is impeccably designed.
It’s a mix of soft fresco vibes, color blocking, and weird hanging rock sculptures that somehow tie it all together.
There’s plenty of clearly hand-selected artwork on the walls, with the variety in design reflected in the cuisine.
Breakfast is pretty standard American fare; lunch and dinner range from ceviche to gnocchi to oysters and cheese plates.
Martini Hour and Afternoon Tea are definitely indulgences worth mentioning, depending on the vacation you want to have.
One additional charm of Warren Street is a small, bright rooftop terrace where guests can have a drink or a bite to eat.
It’s also available for private rentals.
Facilities is where it gets more limited. They know their audience, clearly, and it doesn’t seem to be much of an issue for the Kit Kemp crowd.
Yet, if a gym or any kind of spa services is a dealbreaker, we’ll point you elsewhere.
How is the neighborhood? Anything interesting nearby?
- Tribeca base: Quiet, residential vibe with a few cafés and restaurants.
- Central reach: Easy access to FiDi, the Village, and Chelsea.
- Near Chinatown :with galleries and the Banksy Museum.
- Quick cab ride: to lots more; the Whitney Gallery, Central Park, or Brooklyn.
Tribeca is quite wealthy and residential, there’s not much going on but it’s still Lower Manhattan, and you will certainly find some very charming café and restaurants around.
The centrality is the real draw here though: The Financial District, Greenwich Village, the galleries of Chelsea; none of them will be far.
Warren Street specifically is right on the edge of the Civic Center and Financial District, an easy 20 minutes to Wall Street.
Park Place is literally around the corner.
Perhaps more exciting to the design crowd is the proximity to Chinatown.
It’ll be easy to check out nearby artsy spots like Jack Shainman’s Clock Tower location and the Banksy Museum.
Grab a cab for the Whitney and the Chelsea galleries, and it’ll be under 10 minutes.
Central Park is more like 20, or 30ish if you snag the MTA, just minutes away on Chambers Street.
The same goes for Brooklyn, an easy subway ride, or quick drive.
