The 41 Best Hotel Openings of 2022

Nine Orchard, New York

A motley team of design collaborators has transformed the more-than-a-century-old Jarmulowsky Bank Building straddling the Lower East Side and Chinatown into the 116-room Nine Orchard hotel. Vaulted ceilings and original stones remain intact, but the hotel is infused with a contemporary energy, felt most vividly in the food and drink offerings from Mattos Hospitality, including Corner Bar and the Swan Room, the cocktail lounge situated in the soaring hall where tellers once worked.

Architecture Firms: Studio Castellano, in collaboration with Kerri Culhane (landmark restoration and architect of record) and Maruni & Company Design Firms: Fernando Santangelo; Reza Nouranian Design; and Ray Azoulay Owner: DLJ Real Estate Capital Partners Operator: Mattos Hospitality (F&B)
