Arlo Hotels, a brand offering small, hyper-designed rooms,
opened its first hotel on Tuesday, in Lower Manhattan.
The Arlo Hudson Square has 325 guestrooms at a maximum of 165
square feet. The rooms feature walnut furnishings and wool-tufted area rugs.
The property also has a rooftop bar with Hudson River views,
an indoor/outdoor courtyard, and a lounge called the Library where guests can
play vintage board games and watch classic movies. The hotel will add a
restaurant helmed by Harold Moore.
A second Arlo hotel is due to open in New York’s NoMad neighborhood
in November.
Arlo is in the same segment as small-room specialists Yotel, Pod and Citizen M.
