As the spirit of New York City rebounds, the renowned Gansevoort Meatpacking Hotel is leading the charge, unveiling an opulent, multimillion-dollar renovation and rebranding to re-ignite the life and vivacity of the district. This bold move serves as a testament to the vision of hotelier Michael Achenbaum, who, two decades ago, championed the transformation of this district into a top-tier travel destination.

Upon entering the newly revamped Gansevoort Meatpacking Hotel at 18 9th Ave, guests are greeted by an eclectic fusion of contemporary design and a robust art collection, projecting the hotel’s unique personality. Notable pieces from celebrated artists, including Banksy, Richard Hambleton, and Hassan Hajjaj, punctuate the space, echoing the district’s rich art heritage.

This visually striking experience extends into the newest food and beverage venue, Coffee & Cocktails (C+C), encapsulating the street café culture of Europe. With both indoor and year-round outdoor seating, the venue serves as a buzzing social hub, reflecting the vibrant atmosphere of the district.

Embodying the essence of the Meatpacking District, the 186 refurbished guest rooms in the Gansevoort exude a sense of tranquillity and comfort. The décor, under the meticulous craftsmanship of Achenbaum, Olivier Weppe, and Duncan Miller Design, pays homage to the local colour palette. Innovative technology enhancements and the inclusion of The MIRROR, the first hotel to offer an interactive home gym in every room, ensure a stay that’s as exciting as it is relaxing.

For those seeking an elevated experience, the newly designed 1,700-square-foot Poliform Penthouse promises an unprecedented blend of luxury and style. This space is the first in the United States to be created by Italian furniture titan Poliform. Boasting 20-foot high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the Hudson River, the suite’s furnishings, designed by Poliform’s international designers, are available for those who wish to take a piece of their memorable stay home.

Art is an integral part of the Gansevoort identity. In addition to the stunning lobby collection, pieces from Frank Stella, Daniel Mazzone, Mick Rock, and Fabio Mesa adorn the Poliform Penthouse. The artwork from Achenbaum’s private collection personifies the brand’s daring character and aesthetic.

As a cherry on top, the hotel’s famed Gansevoort Rooftop has been invigorated with a fresh design and menu. The partnership with Kissaki Hospitality Group has birthed an 850-square-foot omakase sushi bar, Saishin, providing an elevated dining experience to patrons.

Achenbaum’s bet on the Meatpacking District seventeen years ago helped establish it as one of New York City’s most visited neighbourhoods. Today, he doubles down on his commitment by infusing new vigour into the district, weaving together luxury, art, and history into a seamless tapestry of hospitality. With the addition of new luxury brands such as Restoration Hardware, Rolex, Bally, Brunello Cucinelli, Loro Piana, and Lucid Motors, Gansevoort Meatpacking, all grown up, is prepared to serve as the district’s beacon, ushering in a new era of vibrancy and prosperity.

Lending credence to Achenbaum’s belief in the district’s resilience, the reimagined Gansevoort Meatpacking stands as an icon of luxury and a symbol of the Meatpacking district’s continued evolution and growth.
