by Amy Works October 27, 2014

NEW YORK CITY — The 18-story, 56,500-square-foot Cambria Suites is slated to open in November. Located at 125 West 28th St., the property is the first Cambria Suites hotel in New York City. Designed by Gene Kaufman Architect (GKA), the property will feature 135 suites and a rooftop terrace. As this is the first Cambria Suites in the city, GKA was tasked with not only designing the outer shell of the building, but also designing and programming the hotel’s interior configuration, including the suites, lobby reception, concierge, lounge and dining areas, a ground-floor meeting room and a fitness facility. The design and solution created by GKA will serve as the model for all subsequent New York City Cambria Suites, including the 196-room property at 30 West 46th St. that is slated to top out later this year.
