THE BEEKMAN, A THOMPSON HOTEL
NEW YORK
Design firm

Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, New York

The shoot Housed in the Temple Court building that first opened in 1883,
the hotel lobby's look is equally elegant and relaxed. An atrium serves as a
central point with the reception tucked to the side to create a more private
arrival experience. Guest accommodations and F&B venues flow off that
restored central atrium, which spans the building's nine stories and is capped
by a pyramidal skylight. On the main floor, the atrium forms a stage with a
series of intimate seating areas scattered among lavish decor.
The director's cut Oversized bespoke bookcases equipped with overhead reading sconces showcase objets d'art and other curiosities. Those freestanding, glass-door units also divide the space without compromising its open
feel. Custom furniture, antique finds and city-centric artwork evoke the look of
a world traveler's drawing room. Materials such as mohair, leather and marble
complement the original exposed walls within the lobby restaurant.

The highlight reel Nineteenth century floor lamps and mid-century chairs are
offset by a rich palette of jewel tones, sapphire blues, maroons, amethyst purples and
golden hues with punches of topaz yellow. Some furnishings were custom crafted to
reflect a vintage sensibility, while others were handpicked from antique shops and
flea markets to give the impression of a connoisseur's personal collection.
The trailer Create an unforgettable check-in experience. A patchwork of
upholstered vintage Persian rugs wrapping an intimate reception cove, which
is adorned with antique glass lamps and topped with polished timber, creates a
unique aesthetic while harkening the golden age of travel.
