The Greenwich Hotel was conceived by Ira Drukier and Robert De Niro and created with a regard for comfort and hand-crafted beauty. The hotel has 88 rooms, of which no two are alike. The furnishings draw from a wide range of cultural influences – from hand-loomed Tibetan silk rugs to patterns of Moroccan tile. The rooms boast Dux beds, oak floors, soaking tubs, and small libraries.

With 12-foot ceilings, bookshelves and a wood-burning fireplace, the Drawing Room is the perfect place to host a casual meeting or an intimate lunch. Lining one side of the room are antique mirrored glass and French doors that lead to a small courtyard, where guests can dine beneath latticed vines, or just look out at the greenery.

The hotel’s restaurant, Locanda Verde is a casual neighbourhood Italian inn, serving Andrew Carmellini’s riffs on Italian cooking. It is an airy, bustling, high-ceilinged space, flooded with light and open to the street.

Shibui Spa, a true haven for relaxation and rejuvenation, houses a lantern-lit swimming pool and lounge under the roof of a 250-year old wood and bamboo farmhouse. Shibui features four separate treatment rooms, a shiatsu room and a state-of-the-art fitness room.
