Less, But Better – Sister City New York

Sister City is a hotel inspired by the functional perfection of Finnish saunas, Japanese bento boxes and post war architecture. Sister City offers 200 intimate, efficient rooms, a ground-floor restaurant and a rooftop bar right on Bowery, Manhattan’s oldest and most storied thoroughfare.

Created by the people behind Ace Hotel Group. Atelier Ace were inspired by the philosophy of Less, But Better, with the inherent satisfaction of having just enough. The studio asked what was needed for today’s traveler, and shaved off excess, considering aesthetic sustenance, human connection, and modern needs as well. The result: a new prototype for compassionate hospitality where efficiency and beauty find union. Sister City provides guests shelter from the elements, but orients them to the wider world, as well.
