New York City's Hotel Scene Is More Glamorous Than Ever. The Wall Street Hotel “Walk into this boutique newcomer in the Financial District and immediately you'll notice the abundant Old New York glamour in materials like brass, velvet, and mother-of-pearl, a nod to the Beaux Arts building's former life as the headquarters of a successful trading company. The 180-room hotel's opening marks the latest in the evolution of Manhattan's southern tip into a place you want to be after the workday is over. Suites have both desks and deep soaking tubs, allowing guests to finish those last few tasks before relaxing for the night. Downstairs, chic locals mingle with out-of-towners, clinking martini glasses at Lounge on Pearl and downing oysters at La Marchande. All this, plus a soon-to-open roof-top bar with river views, adds up to a definitive statement: Wall Street isn't just business anymore.” —Megan Spurrell @spurrelly @cntraveler @wallstreet.hotelnyc #RoseInkWorkshop #InteriorDesign Photo by @joethommas
