Smyth, A Thompson Hotel

Hotel description

Here the dark and slightly masculine Thompson house style is used to stunning effect, its rooms and suites clean in line yet rich in color, its public spaces swanky and romantic, whether by day or by night. Fittings are strictly boutique-luxe, with iPod docks and massive LCDs in the bedrooms, and faultless high-flow rain showers and Kiehl’s products in the striking tiled bathrooms.

It suits the neighborhood perfectly, which is very much the point — it’s halfway between 60 Thompson and Gild Hall both in geographic and stylistic terms. Downstairs there’s a surprisingly well-equipped fitness center, and the ground floor is given over to a dark and clubby lounge. Coming soon is Jour et Nuit, a restaurant by Frederick Lesort — expect it to shift the center of gravity of Tribeca’s nightlife a bit farther to the south.
