The Mercer, SoHo
"Christian Liagre's fashiony design hotel is a boho-fabulous loft space, perfect to rub shoulders with stylish, uber-socialites."
Located at the intersection of Mercer and Prince in SoHo, the Mercer hotel is New York's first loft hotel and captures the very essence of the area. Lofts are a uniquely SoHo phenomenon, pioneered by artists in the 1960s who took over the neighborhood's many abandoned warehouses. Loft living is about sunlight and leaving the original architecture intact, and at the Mercer, brickwork is exposed, windows are industry size, and iron support columns run from floor to ceiling. It's one of the few hotels to boast wooden floors, and Christian Liagre's spare furnishings are appropriately unobtrusive, because, as your downtown designer friend might say, the beauty of a place is in its empty spaces.
