11 Howard: A Hotel That Feels Like a Home

It’s becoming a modern day preference that when away from their homes, travelers don’t want to feel like they’re traveling. They want to eat, visit, and stay like a local, not a tourist. This was one of Danish design studio SPACE Copenhagen’s goals when designing Soho’s new 11 Howard Hotel. By combining New York’s classic feel with Scandinavian design traditions, SPACE Copenhagen created contemporary interiors for each of the 221 guest rooms filled with beautiful objects that were meticulously and carefully considered.

The guest rooms, which look and feel more like an artist’s home than a traditional hotel, all have custom designed pieces by SPACE Copenhagen, from light fixtures to accent furniture.

We’re really interested in materials – stone, woods, leathers. We love things that age well. It’s part of our responsibility that a project lives on in a beautiful manner long after we’ve left.

The Library is SPACE Copenhagen’s interpretation of modern social spaces. The studio worked with top rated manufacturers like MATER, Stellarworks, &tradition, Gubi, and Fredericia to create a one of a kind area to work, meet, or rest.
