First Look at The Redbury New York

For the third and latest evolution of this music-centric hospitality brand, Matthew Rolston, the brand’s creative director, dove deep into New York City’s illustrious history as one of the birthplaces of some of the most influential American pop music and rock ’n roll. The Redbury New York, located on 29th Street between Park and Madison Avenues, is adjacent to New York’s legendary center of music recording and publication, known as ‘Tin Pan Alley,’ where the American music industry flourished during the first decades of the 20th century. The building’s iconic façade and designated historic landmark status reinforce The Redbury New York’s timeless design, which effortlessly transports guests to another era of New York’s history.

Rolston’s design inspiration captures the bold colors and vibrant music culture of Tin Pan Alley, utilizing vintage music imagery, gramophones, historic photography of New York City in the early- to mid-20th century, 1960s-era patterns and motifs (such as paisley wallpapers and oriental rugs), and many more atmospheric touches as visual accents throughout the property. The décor pays homage to the Bohemian inspiration behind The Redbury’s original flagship location in Hollywood, California. The Redbury New York captures the history of the surrounding New York neighborhood in the emerging NoMad district with music-centric style, richly evocative imagery, and a pleasingly funky sensibility.



Rolston has once again partnered with the design team behind The Redbury Hollywood and The Redbury South Beach, working closely with Dakota Development and Avenue Interior Design to bring this new property to life.

Setting a new benchmark for hospitality in New York City, The Redbury New York introduces an evolution of the boutique hotel experience with the debut of the largest Redbury property to date, featuring 256 guest rooms, creative meeting spaces featuring Juliet balconies and extravagant windows, relaxation areas, Ciel Spa bath amenities, Wi-Fi, and in-room dining from buzzy on-site restaurant Marta, hosted by Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group.

The Redbury New York draws upon the brand’s original design philosophy, blending a playful and soulful approach that appeals to the creative side and pays tribute to the worlds of arts, music, fashion and media. The rooms feature specially curated photography and artwork, Bohemian-inspired and colorful accents, luxuriously soft linens - and the property’s friendly staff goes out of its way to make guests feel welcome - all of which contribute to the ‘at home-like’ environment that’s become synonymous with the brand.

Originally envisioned by sbe founder and CEO Sam Nazarian and Rolston, The Redbury brand launched in 2010 in Los Angeles as a new hospitality category for sbe with a boutique design inspired by 1960s-era Bohemian counterculture, carefully chosen hospitality amenities, and a soulful and engaging environment that is sophisticated, yet comfortable and inviting. This hospitality experience features Rolston’s highly-designed and richly-atmospheric aesthetic, and has been awarded top recognition on Travel & Leisure's IT List, Condé Nast Traveler's Hot List and USA Today’s Top 10 List & Hippest Hotel in LA.

Assuming the role of creative director, Rolston, widely recognized as one of the leading Hollywood photographers and music video directors of his generation, has helped define the modern aesthetics of celebrity and beauty, having perfectly captured nearly every music, film and television star working today.
