Morgans Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Originally created by Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager after Studio 54 in 1984, Morgans Hotel Group developed its first property, Morgans on Madison Avenue in New York City. The hotel revolutionized the hospitality industry with the introduction of the boutique hotel concept. The hotel is designed by the renowned French designer Andree Putman.

[edit] Design Features

New design features are evident throughout Morgans' public spaces. A sampling of these features includes:

A "Living-Room" Lobby.

The newly redesigned Morgans Bar.

The original Asia de Cuba, serving a blend of Asian and Latin cuisine, is under the direction of Jeffrey Chodorow, whose Asia de Cuba outposts in LA’s Mondrian, St Martins Lane in London and San Francisco’s Clift.


[edit] Guest Accommodations

Inside the room, the walls are painted with a mixture of four muted tones, producing an effect like that of an "Impressionist wall painting" — an unusual backdrop for the specially commissioned black and white photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe.
