The Nolitan Hotel, New York, USA
With competition fiercer than ever, it’s nice to see a hotel that’s prepared to go that extra mile. New York’s newest boutique hotel (opens 1st August), the Nolitan, breaks new ground in guest-pampering with a range of quirky and - we think - long overdue services. Should you so desire, the Nolitan Hotel’s staff will lend you a skateboard and book a bath for your dog. Standard check-out time is a very civilised 2pm - because, in their words, ’a good friend wouldn’t give you the boot at 11am’.
Situated on the corner of Kenmare and Elizabeth streets, the 55-room hotel starts laying the groundwork for your future satisfaction before you’ve even checked in. Each reservation is followed up with an email asking guests to complete a personal profile, enabling staff to provide a ’customised’ service - from selecting the right pillow type to arranging for organic groceries to be delivered to your room. ’Expect to be greeted by first name when you stay at The Nolitan,’ says General Manager Patrik Horstmann. ’We’re a place that welcomes your friends, your pets and your quirky requests.’ Now there’s a challenge.
