In the heart of Hell's Kitchen, this hotel, one of the most exciting of the latest openings in Manhattan, draws its inspiration from the vibrant creative energy of New York and its neighborhood, that of the musical, the musical.
Staying at the CIVILIAN means becoming part of the community of artists, musicians, and actors. The stage announcing the evening shows, the bar alcoves, the four-poster beds, the velvet sofas… throughout the 27 floors of the glass tower and the 203 rooms with a view, the entire scenography designed by architect David Rockwell evokes the world of entertainment.
Over 350 unique works of art and artifacts, including photographs, sketches, miniature sets from shows like Company and Moulin Rouge!, dazzling costumes, props, and musical scores, tell the story of a century of Broadway's cultural and musical history. The hotel itself has developed an ambitious artistic program, led by theater and photography professionals.
Its rooftop bar, offering an impressive panoramic view of Manhattan, also contributes to forging its burgeoning legend. The idea of converting what was previously a parking lot came from Jason Pomeranc, an American well-known in the hospitality industry . He founded Thompson Hotels in the 1980s, and more recently, in 2014, the SIXTY Hotels brand, which boasts two properties with sophisticated, often provocative design and an artistic lifestyle concept: SIXTY LES (Lower East Side) in New York and SIXTY Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.
A hotel-gallery that immerses you in the excitement of the musical world, blending art, design and music in the heart of New York.
