Hotel Spotlight: Warren Street Hotel, NYC
Colorful, exceptional design, TriBeCa gem
There’s something magical about Firmdale Hotels. And New York’s Warren Street Hotel, a TriBeCa gem with a glistening blue façade, is no exception. This hotel opened in 2024 and walking by regularly in the past years I watched the transformation from parking lot to stunning colorful boutique hotel. From the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a burst of color, texture, and carefully selected art that makes the hotel feel more like a stylish private home or gallery than a traditional hotel. Ideal for travelers and for a staycation.

Once an industrial hub, TriBeCa is now known for its historic charm, cobblestone streets, and a blend of old and new architecture, offering a more local, less touristy vibe compared to areas like Midtown. It’s perfect for those who appreciate boutique shopping, art galleries, and excellent dining options, all within a neighborhood that feels distinctly New York. The location is also great for travelers who want to explore nearby neighborhoods like SoHo, the West Village, and the Financial District.
Rooms
The 69 rooms at Warren Street Hotel are a masterclass in Kit Kemp’s (co-owner and co-founder) signature style, where bold patterns, rich textures, and carefully curated artwork create spaces that are luxurious yet inviting. Even the entry-level accommodations feel spacious, with natural sunlight flooding through floor-to-ceiling windows. Plush patterned couches, vases of fresh flowers, and colorful paintings add a cheerful touch, while Kit’s signature oversized headboards steal the show.

The playful, artistic, bold aesthetic carries over to Warren Street Hotel’s dining outlets. There’s a glass-roofed space for Firmdale’s signature afternoon tea. The Warren Street Bar & Restaurant is an all-day brasserie with a contemporary, quintessential vibe. Tlhe bar, a 30-foot centerpiece, is the perfect spot to enjoy a craft cocktail while soaking in the hotel’s lively atmosphere and striking artwork. On Thursdays, the space comes alive with live jazz
