In preparation for reopening, Dream Hotel Group developed a comprehensive health and cleanliness plan for all of its hotels, restaurants and bars that supplements the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Safe Stay guidelines and is based on recommendations and requirements of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Org. (WHO), as well as other federal, state and local agencies, to minimize risk and enhance safety for its guests and associates.

With new health and safety protocols strictly in place, Dream Midtown and Dream Downtown join sister properties Dream Nashville in Tennessee, Dream Hollywood in California and Dream South Beach in Florida, and sister brand Unscripted Durham in North Carolina, which are all open now.

“Getting our teams back to work and providing a safe environment for our employees and our guests remain top priority,” said Stein. “We will continue to monitor business trends and look forward to sharing news about additional hotel re-openings in New York City soon.”

Inspired by modern artist Anish Kapoor’s Sky Mirror, the building’s stainless-steel exterior and porthole windows reflect a storied maritime past. The hotel’s 315 loft-style guestrooms and suites were designed to evoke an industrial-chic aesthetic, capturing the essence of downtown art legend Andy Warhol’s Factory. The two-story GuestHouse presidential suite features a 2,500-square-foot garden terrace, glass-bottom Jacuzzi and exclusive VIP guest amenities. Dream Downtown is also home to upscale Mexican restaurant Bodega Negra; California-inspired Natura Café and Philippe Chow serving modern Chinese cuisine; as well as exclusive nightlife venues PHD Rooftop Lounge, the ultimate outdoor penthouse offering skyline views of the Hudson River and Empire State Building and late-night hot spot The Electric Room.
