History: In 2001 Manhattan Artist and Developer, Randy Settenbrino, envisioned a stately hotel where others only saw a neighborhood's crumbling tenement building.?The tenement apartments were closed off for 70 years. 1930s to 2001, making it a time capsule from Depression-era Manhattan. There was a treasure trove of personal effects and artifacts that were discovered as Settenbrino hovered over the excavations like a guardian angel. Then Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia decreed that owners had to meet stricter codes, and the landlords declined the cost prohibitive requirements and simply closed off the residential floors, preferring to forego tenants and focus on working their storefronts.
As part of his renovation, Settenbrino salvaged the tenement's fixtures and artifacts, reintegrating them into the hotel's design, scattering and repurposing their likenesses throughout his cozy inn. Historic memorabilia found throughout the building during reconstruction have been preserved and used as a part of the décor. Wood moldings became picture frames to house images of the jazz era celebrities the rooms are dedicated to. Wrought iron was taken from the original shapely fire escapes to form elegant window balconies, mosaics gathered from the central vestibule were reconfigured into strategic spaces throughout the lobby, elevator and entertainment space.
Rooms: All of the rooms at the Historic Blue Moon are stunning each in their own unique way, from the 311 sqft Superior King room, our most basic, to the 711 sqft Quintessential Suite with a view that makes you feel like you own New York.
