New High Line Hotel to Open In Manhattan
A New York hotel opening in May is not quite like any other. It’s a landmark site; it’s inside a cloistered community overlooking High Line Park; and it’s the spot where ‘Twas the Night before Christmas was written.
The land on which the new 60-room High Line Hotel sits once was the home of Clement Clarke Moore, where he wrote the famous Yuletide poem. Moore willed the land to the Episcopal Church in 1817, so it could build its first seminary here.
The actual building dates back to 1895. The hotel has kept the original Gothic architecture and stained-glass windows, and added vintage furniture, artwork, and antique rugs from around the world.
Hoffman Hall, the hotel’s event and meeting space, is a landmarked building built in 1899. The 3,300-square-foot Refectory has a six-foot tall fireplace, three conference rooms, and four breakout rooms.
The hotel has direct access to the High Line’s 20th street entrance, putting Chelsea Piers and the Javits Center within walking distance.
