citizenM has debuted in New York City and Paris.
The 230-room property in the heart of midtown Manhattan opened its doors in May. The hotel lobby acts as a central hub for guests and locals, with an oversized living room design, 26-foot ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves showcasing an eclectic mix of art and objects from around the world.
Like its sister properties, citizenM New York is home to a collection of contemporary art and photography, including two commissioned pieces-a lobby installation by famed English artist Julian Opie and a Jen Liu exterior piece wrapping around the façade of the building-as well as works by Andy Warhol, Daido Moriyama, Florian Süssmayr, and David LaChapelle. Another highlight are the digital artwork displays in all rooms created in collaboration with s[edition], which let guests select from pieces by contemporary artists such as Mark Titchner and Tracey Emin.
citizenM Paris Charles de Gaulle is the brand’s seventh property to date to open and the first in France. The six-story design comprises full glass facades and light-filled communal spaces that form the social heart of the hotel. The property, which is located right next to the famed Concorde, is also outfitted with artwork and a commissioned art piece by Julien Opie that covers the entire front façade.
