What You Need to Know

The Look of Kimpton Hotel Theta

While the hotel itself is brand new, it occupies a historic 15-story building designed by Morris Lapidus, known as the father of the “Miami Modern" architectural style. Inside, the lobby seamlessly mixes old and new with a sleek, neutral color palette, geometric accents, olive-hued seating, and contemporary artwork. While waiting for their room to be ready, guests can grab a coffee or a pastry from the adjoining Café Otto’s coffee window, mingle in the plush communal area, or cozy up in one of the art- and book-filled nooks. The rooms and suites are equally stylish with warm wood tones and a color palette of whites and grays. Green tufted headboards, patterned seating, and geometric artwork add subtle pops of color to the space. The marble rain showers are a bonus. 

The Vibe at Kimpton Hotel Theta

The hotel describes itself as an oasis in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, and that’s precisely the vibe here, especially thanks to its generous communal spaces and spacious rooms, which invite guests to relax and recharge after a long day of sightseeing. The yet-to-debut rooftop restaurant, Bar Sprezzatura — which is inspired by the Italian Riviera — is sure to become a popular gathering spot for locals and hotel guests alike once it opens in 2024.
