Hyatt Place

New York, USA

Hyatt Place,
Hotel

Hyatt Place is one of the tallest Hyatt hotels in the country. With 46 floors and over 500 rooms, it offers sweeping views of the city to the north and south, including the Empire State Building and Freedom Tower. This hotel, located in New York's Chelsea neighborhood, can be seen from miles away as it soars above nearby buildings.

With such a prominent display on all four sides, the design required a natural stone exterior to anchor it to the surrounding context. In addition, the façade was required to have all cladding and external insulating layers within a total system depth of 4”, while having a certain depth, to account for tolerances on a very high concrete superstructure.
