ESCAPEMOXY CHELSEA
Hotel group Marriott’s Moxy chain of hotels
is purportedly aimed squarely at young,
urban travellers focused on the good times.
In reality, this can sometimes make it feel
like you’re staying in a 24-hour nightclub.
Fortunately, its latest opening in New York
City’s Flower District has a more refined,
grown-up vibe, thanks largely to the design
of the public areas by Rockwell Group (see
our profile on p68). These include Feroce,
the ground-floor Italian restaurant with its
zingy jade green bar and oversized terrazzo
floor (right) as well as the Fleur Room, the
rooftop bar clad in plush velvet and floral
fabrics and with ‘so close you can touch it’
views of the Empire State Building. From
£128 per night (moxy-hotels.marriott.com).
