A Luxe Loft in the City That Never Sleeps: The Poliform Penthouse at Gansevoort Hotel
For the design-forward traveler seeking a glamorous escape, New York City’s Meatpacking District holds a hidden gem: the Poliform Penthouse, nestled within the stylish Gansevoort Hotel. The result of a four-year, $40 million renovation, this two-story sanctuary is a testament to modern luxury, combining the warmth and sophistication of the Italian furniture brand Poliform with the vibrant energy of its urban surroundings.
Hotel proprietor Michael Achenbaum, a longtime admirer of Poliform’s aesthetic, brought his personal passion for the brand to life in this exclusive suite. He envisioned a space that exuded both comfort and sleekness, a haven where guests could truly unwind in style. The result is a 1,700 square foot masterpiece, perfect for both short getaways and extended stays.
Stepping into the penthouse, guests are greeted by a spacious living area bathed in natural light streaming through impressive 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows. These windows frame breathtaking views of the Hudson River and beyond, setting the stage for an unforgettable experience. The focal point of this living space is a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace, flanked by elegant bookcases filled with curated selections. A striking coffee table made from rare Saharan black marble and the plush Mondrian sofa create an inviting ambiance where guests can relax and soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere.
"The Poliform Suite is a design haven," says David Mitchell,
A gourmet kitchenette and dining area allows for intimate meals, while a spacious bathroom complete with a rainfall shower offers a tranquil retreat.
Ascending to the second floor, one discovers a master bedroom designed for ultimate relaxation. This private haven encompasses a dedicated work area and a cozy living space, perfect for curling up with a good book or enjoying a cup of coffee while gazing out at the cityscape. Two lavish bathrooms, including one with a steam shower and deep soaking tub, cater to every need.
Throughout the penthouse, every detail has been carefully curated, showcasing Poliform’s signature style. Original artwork by renowned artists Frank Stella, Adi Oren, Daniel Mazzone, and Mick Rock adorn the walls, adding a touch of artistic flair to the space.
Guests seeking fitness options have access to a state-of-the-art lululemon Studio Mirror, offering over 10,000 online fitness classes led by world-class trainers. This innovative amenity is also available in each guestroom at the hotel.
The Poliform Penthouse stands as a tribute to Gansevoort Hotel’s commitment to innovation and elevated hospitality. As the hotel marks its 20th anniversary, this partnership with Poliform represents a fresh take on luxury living in New York City.
"The Poliform Penthouse is a great example of Gansevoort Hotel’s modern, innovative and elevated approach to the hospitality industry," notes the hotel.
To further enhance the guest experience, the hotel has also introduced Seven24 Collective, a private member’s club concept designed as a gathering place for professionals, creatives, and visionaries. This exclusive space offers opportunities for connection, entertainment, and relaxation, reinforcing the Gansevoort’s commitment to providing a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
Adding to its appeal for design enthusiasts, many furniture and accessories within the suite are shoppable, allowing guests to bring a piece of this luxurious oasis back home.
