(New York, NY) Meticulously designed by creative agency Atelier Ace, Sister City is a new hotel at the intersection of simplicity and beauty. Nothing is extravagant but every detail is thoughtfully considered and executed, from the clean, unadorned walls and custom cherry-wood furnishings to the hotel’s ever-changing amalgam of culture and technology.
Sister City pioneers a new way to experience a city through a hotel with: 1. an elegant, intuitive digital interface where guests can easily make room requests, modify their stay or check the weather via the 24-hour rooftop sky camera; 2. self-service check-in kiosks that efficiently generate keys and minimize the need for constant interaction; 3. purposeful, simple and beautiful design, where everything has its place, like the custom Italian cherry-wood built-in furnishings and valets in each room; 4. a first-of-its-kind generative Lobby Score by Julianna Barwick, realized through Microsoft’s AI technology, and informed by the changing environment as seen by the sky camera; 5. the 11th floor neighborhood bar Last Light, followed by the opening of ground floor restaurant Floret this summer; 6. and a partnership with Headspace, offering hotel guests the use of its meditation tools during their stay. Sister City is a living, evolving respite for contemporary travelers, catering to guests’ individual nuances while delivering them to the wider world.
