Marriott’s Moxy Hotels brand, synonymous with individuality, experientiality, and creativity, recently debuted its Moxy Chelsea location, complete with two restaurants—The Fleur Room and Feroce Ristorante/Caffè—that enhance the hotel’s distinctive personality.
The family-owned business specializes in design-build projects including hotels, restaurants, and lounges. C&A Seneca Construction LLC was founded by Carlo Seneca in 1945. They have worked on some of the most prestigious establishments in New York, such as the Buddha Bar and the Stay Hotel, which used state-of-the-art technology to create a projection wall.
Like a beacon, purple fluorescent signage announces the Moxy NYC Times Square, enticing passersby and tourists alike to enter. Stepping onto the terrazzo floors of the double-height atrium lobby and greeted by a stunning, suspended, grizzly bear sculpture by Japanese artist Hirotoshi Sawada, patrons immediately feel they are far from Midtown Manhattan’s frenetic pace. With architecture by New York-based Stonehill & Taylor, public space and guestroom interior design by Toronto-based Yabu Pushelberg, and restaurant designs by New York-based Rockwell Group, this hip hotel fuses a refined aesthetic with comfort and affordability—an unusual find in New York.
