Miniature Hotel Rooms in New York City’s Jewel Box Offer Compact, Quirky Accommodation for Solo Adventurers - 32-square-foot 'Sleeper Cabins' Embrace Style, Humor, and Vibrant Atmosphere
In the midst of COVID-19, I yearned for an indulgent escape from the four walls of my shared London rental. And I wasn't alone. Fast-forward five years later, current travelers seek a comfortable, relatable, and upscale setting for their holidays. But how does a hotel like Now Now NoHo, located in trendy NoHo, Manhattan, with its 32-square-foot 'sleeper cabin' rooms, manage to meet all these demands?
Recently inaugurated, Now Now NoHo is one of the best design hotels in New York City, earning its spot amongst industry giants. It wasn't an easy feat, according to interior designer Ashley Wilkins, who led the project. "The tight spatial constraints became an opportunity for intimacy and immersion," she shares in an email exchange.
By embracing the challenge, Wilkins and her team brought the hotel to life with creative problem-solving, distilled design, and surgical precision. And the result? A dreamlike hotel experience that offers a welcome break from the monotony of daily life.
If you're familiar with opulent hotels like The Mark Hotel and its 15-room penthouse, you might find the idea of 32-square-foot bedrooms ludicrous. But, for Ashley, it's a testament to the power of innovative design and the human spirit.
Now Now NoHo couldn't have launched at a better time. As solo explorations hit an all-time high, this bold and quirky boutique hotel offers the perfect blend of intimacy and adventure. Inspired by Japan's capsule hotels and the luxurious, smaller-scale accommodations of European train cars, it offers a space that is both cozy and cinematic, with burnt red, cream stripes, and pale wood interiors.
The hotel boasts shared but private bathrooms that mimic en-suite facilities, and open communal spaces adorned with champagne-colored tiling, stained glass, and sculptural design accents. These shared areas, while promoting social interactions, also respect the solitude that some travelers seek.
Beyond its distinctive design elements, Now Now NoHo offers free high-speed WiFi, a 24-hour reception, express check-in/check-out, luggage storage, wheelchair-accessible facilities, bathrobes in each room, and even laundry services.
But the true magic of Now Now NoHo lies in its transformative potential. Inspired by the golden age of rail travel and the iconic artistic communities in its neighborhood, the hotel aims to provide a journey that stimulates the senses, provokes thoughts, and fosters connections.
Situated in the heart of the city where SoHo, the Lower East Side, the East Village, and the West Village converge, Now Now NoHo is a hub for creativity and self-discovery. As Ashley puts it, "it is uniquely attuned to the rhythms of contemporary life."
