Ace Hotels has announced that the Sister City hotel will arrive in New York this fall. The first outpost of the new brand will open along the Bowery in Manhattan’s Lower East Side inside the former Salvation Army Building.
“We are inspired by the philosophy of less but better. The inherent satisfaction of having just enough. Sister City looks through a focused lens to truly anticipate what people need when they’re traveling—comfort, beauty, and human connection,” says Kelly Sawdon, chief brand officer of Atelier Ace.
The urban concept will welcome guests through a garden installed at the end of Freeman Alley. The design draws inspiration from Finnish saunas, Japanese bento boxes, prehistoric cliff dwellings, and John Cage’s 4’33”. Ranging in size from 162 to 262 square feet, all 200 accommodations will maximize functionality while also promoting human connection and modern needs. In addition to its accommodations, the hotel will include a ground-floor restaurant and rooftop bar.
