Hotel Blue Moon NYC

About
Hotel Blue Moon NYC:

Hotel
Blue Moon offers a unique experience to visitors of New York City. Located at
100 Orchard Street, Hotel Blue Moon sits in the heart of the Lower East Side of
Manhattan and prides itself on maintaining the area’s unique history.
Originally built in 1879 as a five-story tenement, the apartments in the
structure currently serving as Hotel Blue Moon remained unused for years, the
previous owners having opted out of cost-prohibitive repairs.

The
mementos left by departing residents served the new owners of Hotel Blue Moon
well, as they recognized the value in using these artifacts to create an entire
environment harkening back to the late 1800s and to the pre-World War II era.
As one enters the Hotel Blue Moon in New York City, they encounter an authentic
1920s Coca-Cola machine being used as a telephone booth, a cast iron stove with
a tea and coffee station, an 1898 soap stone sink reincarnated as a planter,
and a mural known as The Weave of Time, which was painted by Randy Settenbrino,
the man who also developed the hotel.

Many
other pieces collected during the renovation of Hotel Blue Moon, such as green
food stamps, newspapers, magazines, pictures, cards and even homework, found
placement in collages in the lobby and on the building’s new sixth, seventh,
and eighth floors. After a Hotel Blue Moon guest rides the oak
wainscoting-capped elevator, they enter their art nouveau-inspired room with
copper-trimmed light fixtures and handcrafted molding from the building’s
original design. The furniture in each Hotel Blue Moon room includes a
secretary desks, wrought-iron beds, and pure wool carpets that resemble 1930s
decor with their Victorian patterns.

The
bathrooms at Hotel Blue Moon follow this tradition with freestanding vanity
sinks and baths, as well as black-and-white mosaic-tiled walls. Many
journalists have written about New York City’s Hotel Blue Moon, which is
respected around the world. The Jewish Journal, Food & Wine, and the New
York Times have all featured pieces on Hotel Blue Moon, and the National
Geographic Traveler highlighted it as one of the 150 hotels readers were sure
to love.
