Inside the groundbreaking Yotel New York hotel that opened in Manhattan’s vibrant theater district at 42nd Street and 10th Avenue in 2011.
We will convey to you a pioneering architectural experience in architectural and interior design.
Its founder, Simon Woodruff, was inspired by Japanese capsule hotels and the experience of luxury airlines to provide a comfortable and highly efficient hotel.
The hotel’s prices are suitable for many options, as the hotel is part of the LEED-Silver complex.
The 1.2 million square foot, 60-story building also includes residential units and a landmark theater designed by Frank Gehry.
Design features
YOTEL Hotel Group has collaborated with Rockwell Group and design firm Softroom;
To transition the efficiency, flexibility and progressive technology of its properties at London and Amsterdam airports into a unique and contemporary hotel.
YOTEL’s welcoming brand colours, including violet, blue, beige and green, surround the hotel’s walls.
The Rockwell Group also created the façade, public spaces and guest rooms;
To attract guests who travel frequently from all over the world, for a short stay in New York.

And amidst all the activity around it in a vibrant neighborhood day and night.
The hotel features the largest outdoor terrace space in Manhattan,
