375-foot, 29-story modernist hotel completed in 2021. Designed by Stonehill & Taylor Architects, it occupies the former site of the Parsons New School for Design/Garment Center Congregation. The facades are clad in blue glass and grey metal. The building’s most interesting architectural element is on the southern elevation on 40th Street, where four stacked boxes spanning three floors each protrude from the side of the structure.

The 4-story podium base has higher floors, clad in floor-to-ceiling glass with thin metal mullions and teal-tinted spandrel panels, and is capped with a beach-themed amenity deck with an outdoor swimming pool and lounge areas. There is also a 3-story restaurant and a rooftop bar called the LandShark Bar & Grill. A glass-lined staircase is perched on the eastern side of the podium, allowing guests to move between levels while taking in the surrounding views.

Glass railing at the top floor enclose the rooftop bar, called the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar. The hotel contains 234 guest rooms.
