rom Nicholson to Travolta, the celebs in town for Robert De Niro’s famed film fest have been housed at the Grand for years and won’t likely move elsewhere, at least until the gangster’s much-buzzed boutique hotel finally opens for business.
Much like Tribeca’s sister hotel in SoHo (a.k.a. the gateway to the center of the urban universe), this downtown venue that straddles the border between big business of Wall Street and high fashion off Houston offers a special Tryst in Tribeca package for lovers looking to get freaky in NYC (and make money and buy clothes).
Classic clean lines are important to the modern look with the occasional splash of color (but not too much flash that will offend conservative power-suit sporting types). After a Friday and Saturday night of debauchery, redeem your soul with the closest thing to a religious institution the Grand has to offer - the Church Lounge. Avoid the Sunday gospels and pray for hangover cures with a delicious Sunday brunch full of hot and cold breakfast goodies.
This was the first luxury hotel in Tribeca, but at the rate the area is developing, don’t expect it to be the last.
