Fronted by a Beaux Arts-style façade with limestone and terracotta masonry, the Knickerbocker Hotel was built between New York’s theater district and Times Square in 1906. Locally based Gabellini Sheppard Associates most recently imbued the landmark with a contemporary aesthetic accented with historically inspired touches.

The L-shaped lobby now centers on textural finishes and alternating bands of light– and medium-toned marble, while a diptych mirror near the reception desk complements the stone floor’s concentric patterning.

Dubbed Jake’s @ the Knick, a café and espresso bar off the lobby features a plaster barrel vaulted ceiling flecked with gold hues that play off of atmospheric lighting in the evening, when the room becomes a lounge.

Designed as a social space, the fourth floor offers intimate seating areas below tiered ceiling panels with integrated lighting.

The 122-seat signature restaurant Charlie Palmer at the Knick is a fluid space with mesh curtains that define intimate dining areas.

Charlie Palmer at the Knick features a central bar clad in sculptural Frappuccino quartzite with swirling brown hues.

The hotel’s former 556 guestrooms have been reconfigured as 330 oversized accommodations with clean lines, custom millwork, and bathrooms enclosed in privacy glass.

With views of Times Square, the residentially inspired Caruso suite centers on extensive oak veneer millwork and a neutral palette with textural flooring.
