Rooms at The Distrikt Not As Funky as the Hotel's Name Suggests
One of our favorite milestones when tracking a new hotel opening is the release of photos. Not renderings, not collages, but full color pictures of the guestrooms we’re so eager to check into. Today The Distrikt Hotel reaches that milestone by posting photos on its Facebook page.
We’ve been dying for a glimpse inside the hotel since the funky collages on the website--while arty and cool--left us without a clue as to room design. Now The Distrikt delivers and we’re both relieved and disappointed.
Relieved that the neighborhood theme is not an OTT mish-mash as it could have been, but a little sad that the décor plays it so safe. For all its savvy marketing, The Distrikt looks pretty middle-of-the-road when it comes to design. The rooms look nice in these photos—but "nice" means a place your mom would be comfortable staying. (That is, if she isn’t scared off by the funky name.) And that’s just not what we were expecting here.
There is some hope. If each floor is themed around a different part of Manhattan, maybe there will be more variety than these photos suggest. Maybe this is a room on the Upper East Side floor, and things get a whole lot more exciting down on the SoHo floor, or in the East Village.
It looks like we’ll have to wait until January to see for ourselves. Although the most recent update on the Distrikt’s debut was “opening on December 1st, but no reservations available until December 21st,” now the earliest date we can find using the hotel’s website is January 3—starting at $209 a night. The next night that drops to $189 a night.
