Although the Soho Grand hotel, fixated in lower Manhattan on West Broadway and Grand St, is known for its impeccable views of the downtown scene in the city and its must-visit diner for winding down after any night out, it’s the property’s Club Room that is really the space to witness.

Serving as the gilded hideaway from the masses that the hotel attracts with its Grand Bar & Salon, just across the way is the The Club Room, a decadent two-room space that fuses together an essence of old school New York charm with the attitude of today’s downtown denizens. Surrounded by large portraits by British photographer Terry O’Neill, the image maker’s work sets the tone for the Art Deco inspired space by bringing an air of Hollywood elegance and mystery to the space. As the caviar service paces to and fro amongst the city’s glitterati, it’s the music in the room that really gets the place moving for the perfect gateway into New York hedonism. With an eclectic and vibrant selection of talent performing every night, the artists deliver a range of musical stylings as one feast on the supper menu and full bar that awaits you once in. What tunes will fill the air as you indulge your vices and have a little night of bliss? Perhaps the performances will inspire you to explore the full space, which one always should.

The sound of the energetic jazz, the clinking of glasses, the pop of a cork from a champagne bottle. Everywhere you turn, an exciting sensory overload takes place in both areas: The Bar Room and The Parlor Room. With the first tapping into the glitz of Manhattan in the ‘70s (hand-painted peacock walls and all as original mixology offers small-batch heritage echoed drink offerings) and the later providing the space to show off those Louboutins with a little dancing under the 18-foot mirrored ceilings (complete with disco ball, naturally.)

Whether for a few hours or If you plan to continue the night (perhaps even upstairs in a suite…) The Club Room at the Soho Grand is proving itself to be many New Yorkers best kept secret.
