The only lodging facility in the Mile Square City has completed an interior renovation that includes nods to the past as W Hoboken has refreshed just about a decade after opening.
Per a profile in Hospitality Design, the silver property along the waterfront at 225 Frank Sinatra Drive has completed a modernization. The project was spearheaded in collaboration with AvroKO, an award-winning NYC interior design firm.
The property’s iconic Living Room underwent a refresh that included adding a wall of metal mesh tubes that recalls Hoboken’s industrial rail heritage. The red arch over the Living Room’s bar nods to the city’s distinctive curved architecture, while a colorful carpet underfoot evokes the rhythmic flow of the Hudson River.
The rooms at the property also received some work, as guest rooms are now illuminated by a sculptural pendant light crafted from amber glass, polished chrome, and white globes inspired by the form and glow of a lighthouse. The bathrooms also sport mirrors that reference tunnels connecting New Jersey and New York.
W Hoboken sports two restaurants on the ground floor, Halifax and Sushi by Bou. The hotel might not be the city’s only one for long, as a long-stalled plan to build a Hilton just two blocks away at 100 Sinatra Drive looks like it might finally begin construction soon.
