Fouquet's New York

None of it is salvage: the eight stories went up new inside the Tribeca North Historic District, a joint venture between Groupe Barrière and the developer Caspi Development that opened in September 2022, with SBJ Group setting the brick, stone and cast iron of its neighbors against metal screening and an aluminum panel system. The entrance is easy to walk past.

Martin Brudnizki ran the interiors toward lavender and almond green, Art Deco furniture, mohair velvet and deep walnut, and gave the ground floor a lobby with nooks to sit in. It is closer to a domestic lounge than a check-in hall.

The toile runs through all 97 keys, 65 of them king rooms and 29 corner or terrace suites, and the bathrooms are marble with rain showers. Windows go floor to ceiling at the prestige tier, where the suites add parquet and Calacatta marble. One of the terrace suites opens onto five hundred square feet of outdoor room, over the nineteenth-century brick of the neighborhood. The penthouse holds the top two floors.

A cinema called Cannes takes private bookings and runs ticketed screenings by season, and the spa holds five treatment rooms, an indoor pool, a sauna and a steam room. Le Vaux, the rooftop, is members and room keys only, three visitors to a key, its motifs taken from the château at Vaux-le-Vicomte. The season is short.
