SoHo’s hotel scene is even more elevated, thanks to the hotspot ModernHaus SoHo. 

The first-ever brand hospitality brand from Thor Equities Group––a global leader in urban real estate development, leasing, and management––the company’s Director, Jack J. Sitt, is at the helm of the hotel’s creative vision.

From the hotel’s design and art collection (curated from his own assemblage) to the luxe in-room amenities and toiletries (the soaps are all Le Labo), Sitt has truly added a tasteful touch to every aspect of one’s stay.

Engulfed in the plentiful shopping, dining, and cultural scene “South of Houston,” each of the 114 guest rooms is bathed in sunlight with panoramic city views. Guests can take their pick of ten different room categories, including five suites and the crown jewel, the Gallery Penthouse. 

Situated on the 16th floor with a spacious 1,300 square-foot floor plan, the Gallery boasts a living room, postcard-worthy cityscapes, and even a dining room with a 12-person table. 

ModernHaus SoHo can satisfy any craving, whether it’s a meal by a renowned New York native chef, a craft cocktail, or just a cup of coffee.

Begin the day at Jumpin Jacks––Sitt’s passion project––a light-filled lounge serving only the highest quality coffee beans, lined with works by the likes of Jean Dubuffet, Nicolas Party, and Hans Hartung.

Spend the afternoon lounging on one of the coveted chaises along the hotel’s iconic rooftop, or break a sweat in the 400-square-foot fitness center. Then, enjoy dinner at Twenty Three Grand, a sprawling, verdant dining destination perched beneath a spectacular retractable pergola.

After supper, take the elevator up to the 18th floor for a nightcap at JIMMY. This polished cocktail bar is a cherished spot for lower Manhattan nightlife year-round. Located on the hotel’s rooftop, the aesthetically pleasing haunt boasts a debonair décor and an awe-inspiring view of the city.

Sophisticates should plan to book ModernHaus SoHo on their next visit to New York City.
