The newly redesigned Clift Hotel in Union Square is usually one of the first considerations for society events.  It takes inspiration from different modes of glamour and elegance.  Above is the hotel’s bar on the first floor where young and old professionals mingle in a beautifully decorated setting.  The picture below is of the waiting room/ lobby, which uses many dark shades of brown, an animal print rug protecting the floor, and dark lighting to set the mood for an unparalleled waiting experience.

This huge chair sits right in front of the check-in and is always a conversation piece.  It has traces of an old medieval era and carries a certain regality, indicating to the guests, “This is a hotel where kings and queens sleep.”  Of course, that is if kings and queens were to sleep in hotels and not castles.

Bones make up the armrests of this couch.  Sitting on the table is a would-be prop for the Lord of the Rings.  The Clift Hotel consistenly engages in this type of mishmash in its interior design.  Surprisingly, the result is a cohesive aesthetic that creates a very classic vibe.
