Located in the heart of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood alongside the world’s best art galleries and New York’s High Line Park, Hôtel Americano is Grupo Habita’s first property in the US.

Hôtel Americano will reflect the spirit of Latin culture while encompassing a variety of international influences.

The 10-storey building, designed by award-winning Mexican architect Enrique Norten, is a glass structure encased in a metal mesh façade that captures the industrial spirit of the surrounding neighborhood.

Along the exterior, a glass-enclosed elevator shuttles guests between the street-level restaurant and rooftop terrace.

The rooms, designed by French designer Arnaud Montigny known for his work at Parisianboutique Colette, suggest an urban ryokan with wooden platform beds, warm lighting and natural materials.

Two bars are located on the lower levels.

The lobby café and to-go bar will serve Intelligentsia coffee and fresh squeezed juice

Quality craftsmanship combined with midcentury design classics, custom amenities, and advanced technology provides guests a serene space in which to retreat from the bustle of city life outside.
