Summer 2010 brings the recent addition of one of Chicago’s most loved hotels, The James, to New York City. Located on the SW corner of Grand and Thompson – The James NYC will offer 114 guestrooms with unobstructed views of Manhattan. Designed by the Office for Design and Architecture (ODA) in collaboration with Perkins Eastman and The James Design team, The James NYC will feature an urban garden, and a stunning rooftop pool deck and bar, complete with 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline.

In homage to the creative neighborhood it calls home, The James New York will feature a mix of local artists, both prominent and up-and-coming. This program is reflective of the brand’s commitment to the arts and is an extension of its sister property’s extensive cultural partnerships in Chicago.

Here is the first OFFICIAL rendering of what new landmark will be occupying Grand and Thompson…once summer arrives!
