Furnished Quarters has launched Q&A, a new residential hotel concept, in Manhattan’s financial district. All suites will be full-sized, furnished, turnkey apartments—most with separate office space. The hotel is slated to open in the spring of 2015.
“In a fast-changing world, you need to be creative to be relevant,” says Steve Brown, CEO of Furnished Quarters. “And that’s just what we are doing with Q&A—providing short-stay, live-work suites within our hotel that feel like home and are available for shorter stays than traditional corporate apartments.”
Ranging from 450 to 1,400 square feet, Q&A’s suites each contain a fully equipped kitchen. New York-based designer Benjamin Noriega-Ortiz, in conjunction with Furnished Quarters’ in-house design team, is responsible for all facets of Q&A’s interior design.
The hotel will offer 132 suites across four floors in the historic Art Deco skyscraper, 70 Pine, as well as a fitness facility, fully equipped business center, both shared and private work and conference spaces, and valet laundry and dry cleaning services. In addition to the hotel, more than 600 rental apartments as well as restaurants and retail outlets will occupy the mixed-use building.
