Your kind recognition of all our restorative and artistic efforts is deeply appreciated. We fretted over every detail. Although authentic in historical accuracy, our furniture is not reclaimed; it is period-appropriate with custom fabrics and details. The entire project is a case study in preservation. Commitment and fastidious attention to detail transformed a five-story tenement into a stately eight-story hotel and have earned us the recognition of National Geographic Traveler and 100 Best Little Hotels, as well as 30 major articles. Mosaics found in a central vestibule are reconfigured and placed strategically throughout the lobby. Banister spindles and newel posts are incorporated into our front desk, bars, lobby furniture, and the bar sinks located in each and every room. Each room contains historical memorabilia in frames we created from moldings and window shutters. All the moldings and wainscoting found in the building were brought down to a hand finish and reincorporated in the design of the lobby and rooms.

From our spacious accommodations to the artifacts and historical collages lovingly displayed throughout the hotel, to our complimentary breakfast featuring delectable choices from the neighborhood, we hope to create a memorable and unique experience that will inspire a guest to return. Knowing that you would love to come back to our boutique hotel is a compliment that is truly appreciated. Our Lower East Side location is ideal for visitors to explore and enjoy a New York City and we hope that our staff was able to direct you to all of the NYC attractions located close by, which include many shops, galleries and lounges. Thank you for your kind review and recommendation. It would be our pleasure to welcome you back for another beautiful experience at the Blue Moon Hotel in NYC.

We are delighted that our helpful and convivial staff could help make your NYC trip so enjoyable! Our cozy, yet spacious suites are uniquely designed with all of the luxurious amenities to make our guests feel right at home. Regarding the pipes, all the infrastructure is new. The project’s distinction is that we gutted a 5-storey tenement and gave it a second life as a stately 8-storey hotel. We are flattered that the integration of the artifacts was so tastefully done as to make it hard to distinguish between the original edifice and the rejuvenated one.

The color in each room varies in that we mixed our own oil pigment. The base is overlaid with scumbling and gentle glazes provided by distinctive brushwork. It was not our intention to mimic a flat, monochromatic, industrial-chic style. Our goal was to reflect upon the harmony of color, creating an atmosphere to soothe “the soul by means of the senses” (Oscar Wilde) in a painterly style borrowed from the layering techniques of Renaissance artists. All rooms are meant to complement the original woodwork, which was scraped and stripped by hand using a heat-gun, sandpaper and other devices, in order to bring it down to a natural, hand-finish. The colors are not overly subdued in that they are meant to contrast and complement the large expanse of woodwork and earth tones, which is the general palette of the Blue Moon Hotel. Rest assured: as we fret over our responses, so did we fret over every detail in creating the Blue Moon Hotel and making your stay a most enjoyable one.

Thank you for choosing the Blue Moon Hotel for your NYC getaway.
