Network in an intimate setting while getting a behind the scenes look at one of the latest projects from IHG’s Kimpton brand. Led by representatives from Highgate, CRÉME, and Kimpton, the tour will conclude with a networking reception. Limited to 24 attendees.

Modernist architect Morris Lapidus originally designed the building that is now home to the 364-room Kimpton Hotel Theta, and his handiwork continues to shine in this newest incarnation by Brooklyn-based firm CRÉME. Various zones comprise the lobby, including a cozy lounge with potted plants, a statement wall across from the entrance that showcases an abstract aerial park view, and corrugated concrete reception desks backdropped by vibrant artworks. Differentiating these areas are sculptural portals that nod to both Lapidus and artist Isamu Noguchi.

Open to all qualified attendees. NONEX, manufacturer reps, and exhibitors may not purchase tickets to this tour.

Join representatives from Hilton and Wimberly Interiors for an exclusive look at the inaugural outpost of Hilton’s recently launched lifestyle brand, Tempo. Led by brand and designer representatives, the tour will conclude with a networking reception. Limited to 24 attendees.

Hilton kicked off its Tempo brand in an iconic location: Times Square. Taking cues from aviation, cartography, and photography, the 661-room hotel makes an impact upon arrival with a canopy and desks inspired by airplane fuselage. Corridors, swathed in walnut tambour walls, lead guests to hushed guestrooms accented with leather and metal that recall vintage luggage and original New York subway stations.

Open to all qualified attendees. NONEX, manufacturer reps, and exhibitors may not purchase tickets to this tour

Connect with a select group while exploring one of the latest properties from Moxy Hotels. This tour, led by Mitchell Hochberg, president of Lightstone, will conclude with a networking reception with drinks and light bites. Limited to 30 registrants; open to BDNY attendees and exhibitors.

Marriott’s boutique hotel brand grew its New York empire with last year’s opening of the Moxy Brooklyn Williamsburg—located in one of the borough’s most famous neighborhoods. The 216-room boutique destination aims to reflect the neighborhood’s legacy as a mecca for mavericks, immigrants, and creators as well as its contemporary social scene. Distinguished by timeless architecture by Stonehill Taylor, the 11-story property features sundrenched interiors designed by BASILE Studio in collaboration with Lightstone Design Studio.

Open to all qualified attendees and exhibitors. NONEX and manufacturer reps may not purchase tickets to this tour.
