Filed under: Dining

Just in time for the end of summer Trump SoHo New York has opened Bar d'Eau. The bar was created by KNR, the team behind South Beach's hottest nightspots and is located on the seventh-floor of the luxury SoHo hotel condominium, at 246 Spring Street. Bar d'Eau has an outdoor landscaped 6,000-square-foot Pool Deck with a blue Italian mosaic-lined lounge pool with a cascading waterfall as well as three private cabanas and a bocce court.

Designed by DiGuiseppe Architect, Bar d'Eau opens into the hotel's pool area seasonally with large, clear doors. Two layers of sparkling sheer fabric cover the west facing windows and doors to soften the light by day and provide a warm glow at night. The walls are sheathed in a metallic wallcovering with fractured mirror tile and antique framed textiles from Anatolia. The bar area has chairs of handmade stitched leather and dark bronze frames.

The bar dishes out intriguing cocktails including a Mehkong Sling with Mehkong, Pineapple Cherry Heering and lime juice; Bourbon Tea with Woodford Reserve infused with a house-made tea blend, fresh lemon and honey and the Canton rhubarb float made with Domaine de Canton, muddled limes and rhubarb bitters. The bar also serves small plates like a lobster roll curry with mache and celery, Black Angus sliders with smoked ketchup and butter pickles, the herb fries with rosemary and sage and the butter and parmigiano popcorn. Cold dishes include the summer berry salad with Moscato vanilla jelly and lemon granite, coconut pannacotta and homemade ice cream and sorbet cones. Bar d'Eau is open 1 am to 11 pm Sunday through Thursday and 11 am to 1 am Friday and Saturday.

Trump SoHo Gets Official Opening Date

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels

We've been following the progress of Trump SoHo since way back in 2006 and now the hotel component of the project at 246 Spring Street has an opening date. The hotel will open on April 9. The 46-story silver-glass building is a 391-unit hotel and condominium building.

As the NY Times mentioned last month, owners in the project are only allowed to use their units for under 120 days a year and no more than 29 consecutive days. The idea is that most buyers are using their condos as second or third residences. The units are being sold outright at over one million for a studio and must be rented out for the rest of the time. The reason for the odd living arrangement is that the building is in a manufacturing zone which is zoned for hotels and not residences.

The hotel has enviable views of the city's spectacular skyline, the Hudson River, Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building and the rooms and suites have floor-to-ceiling windows. High end appurtenances include furnishings by Fendi Casa and custom bedding by Bellino. The hotel also has a heated pool with private cabanas and an adjacent bar, a spa that includes a hammam and Quattro Gastronomia Italiana, an Italian restaurant that also offers room service. The Bazaar lounge is the place for nightlife and a library stocked with art and design books by Taschen will offer a cozy place to relax. Promotional rates start at $389 per night.
