A classic Manhattan crowd composed of models, bloggers, elegant women and impeccable men, celebrated the opening of the new HGU New York in the Nomad district on Wednesday July 27th.
While guests sipped Peroni beers and sparkling Celange rose, some were discussing the historic past of the hotel. The building was built in 1905 and it used to be known as the Hotel Grand Union for almost a hundred years before it was proclaimed a landmark in 2013.
According to the HGU Remixed Times Dispatch, the hotel’s very own newspaper, this building was right in the middle of all the excitement in the late 1800s. The “it” people of the time such as Oscar Wilde, Nikola Tesla, JP Morgan and the Roosevelt all used to gather around this area.
Now, after a year of cautious and detailed renovations, the new hotel is ready to honor its landmark status by merging the old and the new flawlessly.
One way they managed to do so was by incorporating new artwork to the original indoor structure. The artwork around the hotel is all one of a kind. “We wanted to keep the charm and elegance of an older hotel, but we want to marry that with modern amenities that travelers are looking for,” said Dana Ayers the sales and marketing director of the hotel.
When guests look in their room, they will find mini ipads available for the entire length of their stay. This is one of the initiatives taken to appeal to the young traveler. They will also attract a trendy crowd with their back room lounge and private rooftop with spectacular city views.
The hotel is carefully decorated with a curated selection of artwork and trinkets that somehow harmoniously fits perfectly together. It has a small bar with large furniture and trendy ceiling lamp, an elongated restaurant salon, and a unisex restroom.
Even though the restroom was not the most decorated room in the hotel, everyone was talking about it, and enjoying the flirtatious exchanges going on in the waiting line.

On Wednesday December 9, The Knockturnal was on the scene for a first-of-its-kind immersive and interactive light installation presented by Stella Artois. The preview included a stellar performance by the charming artist.
Before we entered this starry venue, we were welcomed to a sparkly room with delicious finger food such as truffled cheddar pretzels to pair up with our Stella Artois beers. Here we learned about the 600-year-old brewing heritage of the Belgian beer brand.
The focus of this room was geared towards this year’s holiday campaign called Give Beautifully. It consists of delivering a series of seasonal surprises that embrace the true essence of the company.
Once we stepped into the room filled with over 500 kinetic LED lights, we felt like we were in the middle of space.
Different color and sized balls moved harmoniously up and down the room while shinning simultaneously. The ambiance felt like a holiday Christmas caroling get-together.
John Legend told the intimate crowd that he was happy to collaborate with Stella on this special event that required coming up with a song related to the sound that stars make. He graced the audience with some of his top hits such as You & I, Tonight, Ordinary People, All of Me and ended the evening with singing Under the Stars live for the very first time.
We strongly recommend that you RSVP to visit this holiday wonder. The installation opens to the public on December 10 until December 12. For more information visit StellaArtois.com.
