WORTH A DETOUR
Despite its waterside location, alongside the
Hudson River, its atmospheric cobble-covered streets,
the backdrop for myriad movies, its industrial-chic
architecture, and its starry roster of A-list residents,
Tribeca, the “Triangle Below Canal Street,” has always
been lacking in hotels of distinction. That all changed
when Fouquet’s New York (hotelsbarriere.com) debuted
in an eight-story red brick façade on Greenwich Street,
bringing its Parisian brand of hospitality to the district.
Designed by London-based Martin Brudnizki, the bijou
property boasts 97 rooms and suites, all decorated
to a pastel-colored, jewel-box flawlessness. There is
an indulgent subterranean spa (complete with a sauna,
hammam, and hydrotherapy pool), three restaurants
and a sprawling new open air rooftop space, inspired by
the French gardens of Vaux-Le-Vicomte and Versailles,
where the beau monde can nibble on elegant finger
food and select from a curated cocktail list, making this
the place to see and be seen this season.
