CITYist

New York City is one of the best cities for art, fashion, food and more. City dwellers can never keep up with all the openings of new place, but once established, it’s hard to keep away. The opening of the new High Line Hotel in Chelsea marks the launch of a new NYC landmark that is here to stay. The hotel and adjacent meeting hall, Hoffman Hall, were built over one hundred years ago which contrast the classic architecture with the modern Chelsea neighborhood.

Imagine you’re staying at a luxurious hotel- relaxing in a beautiful suite or perhaps basking in the rays by the azure pool, and you find your pallet is parched. You’re not about to signal the valet for a rum and coke, are you?

To some, the work of the grand dame of fashion, Diane von Furstenberg, is so amazing they’d just like to live inside it. Well, living inside her clothes is one matter, but now it’s possible to be totally enveloped in DVF style within the 20 guest rooms and suites she’s designed for London hotel Claridge’s, which will begin unveiling on June 23rd. The designer has been a loyal patron of the art deco space for the past 30 years, and considers her work nothing short of the preservation of old-style, luxurious hotel life.
