Artfully SoHo: The Manner Hotel is New York’s Most Beautiful Design Stay
As British travellers increasingly seek luxury city breaks that blend architectural finesse, cultural vibrancy and world-class hospitality, New York City remains a magnetic force. This summer, the city is enjoying a major resurgence, luring global tastemakers with blockbuster exhibitions at The Met and MoMA, fashion-led pop-ups in SoHo, and iconic strolls through Central Park and The High Line.
For Fluxx readers seeking an elevated, design-driven base with a soul, there’s no better address than The Manner, a discreet luxury hotel nestled in one of Manhattan’s most stylish corners.
Located on a tranquil, tree-lined street in SoHo, The Manner Hotel is an architectural gem that channels the understated glamour of old New York with a distinctly modern edge. Just a stone’s throw from the boutiques of Prince Street, the galleries of Tribeca and the buzz of Nolita, The Manner offers the perfect launchpad for summer in the city.
A New Standard in Contemporary Luxury
Conceived by Amar Lalvani, President & Creative Director of Lifestyle at Hyatt, The Manner represents a fresh chapter in American hospitality. With just 97 rooms—including 10 suites and a show-stopping Duplex Penthouse—this is a property that reimagines the traditional hotel stay. It combines the refinement of a private residence with the warmth of a member’s club, enveloped in serene luxury and caring, intuitive service.
At the heart of The Manner’s identity is its design: a masterful collaboration between Hyatt's Global Head of Design, Verena Haller, and Milanese residential architect Hannes Peer, with architectural execution by Lubrano Ciavarra Architects. The result is a timeless, tactile space that nods to Brutalist architecture while remaining innately elegant and deeply personal. Rich woods, brass finishes, custom lighting and sculptural furniture set the tone for a property that feels less like a hotel and more like an art-filled home.
Notable design collaborations include cast glass chandeliers by Hannes Peer with 6:am.glass, ceramic wall art by Giovanni De Francesco, and a mural by Spanish artist Elvira Solana, offering guests a layered, gallery-like visual journey.
The Rooms: Sculpted Tranquillity
The guest rooms at The Manner reflect the same design ethos. Ranging from 300 to 850 sq. ft, they feature custom chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling mirrors, bespoke Italian fabrics, and subtle gold leaf detailing. Colours move from soft ochres to light blues and sand tones, creating calm amid the urban energy.
All rooms come with residential-grade glassware, Costa Brazil amenities, plush robes, and curated books, while televisions are intentionally absent to promote rest and reflection. Many rooms feature balconies and elegant living areas, while the Duplex Penthouse, wrapped in rich burgundy lacquer and flooded with light, offers a wraparound terrace, travertine fireplace, and a double-height window with panoramic skyline views—the ultimate city escape.
Culinary Culture
On the ground floor, The Otter is an all-day seafood-focused bistro for both guests and locals, while the second-floor Apartment and Sloane’s cocktail bar are reserved exclusively for guests and their friends.
Rooftop City Views
Newly opened, as a non-hotel guest, you can pop by and visit from 5pm. Featuring elevated views over SoHo— relax and unwind for a golden-hour cocktail or morning espresso. With each space designed for intimacy, The Manner redefines the idea of the hotel as an open Livingroom for the culturally curious from sunset to sunrise.
For visitors to New York seeking modern design, private luxury, and local immersion, The Manner is one of the most exciting new openings. It’s more than a place to stay—it’s a sanctuary for those who appreciate craftsmanship, curation, design and calm. As New York buzzes this summer, The Manner quietly sets a new benchmark for urban elegance.
