SoHo Grand

SoHo Grand Review

The SoHo Grand defines what SoHo is today—once pioneering, now expensive, and with a vaguely creative vibe. When the Grand opened in 1996, it had been a century since a hotel had debuted in the neighborhood. Today, as new properties crowd the field, its low-key sophistication stands out ever more clearly. The Club Room serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily but the Parlor, the Club Room's back room, is reserved for hotel guests during the day and is an oasis of low-lying velvet sofas and deep cushioned leather armchairs, with a fireplace. Public spaces as well as guest rooms have an industrial-chic design to mimic the architecture of the neighborhood, though this can come across as spartan to some. Comfortable contemporary rooms are mainly focused on the view out the ample windows. A great seasonal pleasure is the Yard—a large outdoor space where you can have a drink or meal and then spread out on teak lounge chairs. The staff are professional, polished, and more experienced than you'll find at other fashionable hotels.
