Once the second location of Rabbi Sender Jarmulowsky’s banking business, Nine Orchard is today a historic hotel; an architectural treasure meticulously preserved and beautifully restored. Designed by a group of New York City artists and creators, the hotel combines a diversity of singular visions, blending many into one and entwining the past and the present.

Step into the lobby, where guests check in and out beneath a soaring, vaulted ceiling. Cornice moldings—as decorated the room when used by bank tellers—have been carefully reproduced, as have the large, arched windows designed to mimic photographs of the original building. Stories above, the rooftop boasts a 60-foot-tall domed tempietto, a replica of the original structure designed in 1912 by Rouse & Goldstone. Previously removed in the 1990s, the reinstallation of the tempietto brings back the iconic neighborhood treasure, an instantly recognizable point of reference above the New York City streets.

“Simple—but not stark” was the ethos for the hotel’s rooms; minimal in their construction, yet detailed in their character. Overlooking the city, each room is both functional and aesthetic, uniquely outfitted with custom furniture and sourced vintage pieces. And in a playful nod to the classic New York City apartment, the inspiration behind the rooms’ design, each is identified by a number/letter combination.

Three distinct dining and drinking spaces—the hotel’s first-floor lounge, designed to feel like a living room, as well as its two restaurants, an upscale 50-seat grill and a casual corner bar are available for guests to enjoy. Other social spaces at Nine Orchard include a private dining room, an adaptable event space and a full-floor greenhouse at the top of the building. Here, enveloped in the building’s New York City glamor, events like the OJAS Listening Experience—an ongoing series of performances from September 7th to September 11th—come to life.
