A Look Inside The Ace’s New Sister Hotel

Walk on Bowery in New York City between Delancey and Houston and you’ll notice that the neighborhood has gained a new friend. Located at 225 Bowery, tucked away behind a golden gate is Sister City, the Ace’s newest hotel. Made up of 200 rooms, a rooftop bar, and the main floor restaurant, the hotel has a chic wooden and plant-filled interior, immediately making you forget that you moments earlier you were standing on the busy streets of New York.

The boutique hotel has no frills in the best way possible. Think no room service, no extra knick-knacks lying around your room, and no turndown service. But does that really matter when you have a rooftop bar with panoramic views of the city (and phenomenal tequila cocktails) and Floret, the hotel’s restaurant serving a mesh of Mediterranean, North African, and East Asian cuisines? We think not. If anything, the hotel makes you feel that much more removed from the world by offering a self check-out service and mini bar in the lobby.

"We wanted to create a bit of serenity in the midst of the city—a place where our guests felt truly cared for and also at the center of their own experience,” said Chief Brand officer, Atelier Ace’s Chief Brand Officer, Kelly Sawdon. “We took a simple, considered approach to the design that championed compassion, functionality and human experience. We’re excited to see how it evolves as guests arrive and make it their own." While the hotel has been accepting reservations to some of their rooms since the top of March, today the entirety of the hotel opens (although you're going to have to sit tight until summer for Floret).
