RH (formerly Restoration Hardware) opened RH Guesthouse New York, situated a few steps from its New York Gallery. The New York property, located in Manhattan’s trendy Meatpacking District, opened in September 2022. Guests can access the property through a secure, private entrance. The guesthouse features just six 500-square-foot guestrooms and three 1,000-square-foot guest suites. RH Chairman & CEO Gary Friedman’s private residence occupies the entire top floor and is sometimes available for booking.

Each guestroom and suite includes two full bathrooms, a freshly stocked gourmet pantry, an in-room gym and exclusive use of the private rooftop garden, pool and dining terrace with panoramic views of lower Manhattan, Freedom Tower and the Hudson River.

RH Guesthouse also features The Dining Room & Terrace, a dramatic, live-fire restaurant serving wood-grilled Australian Wagyu ribeye; fresh-carved rotisserie chicken; a whole branzino cooked over Japanese Binchotan charcoal; and, the house favorite, a wood-grilled avocado with 15 grams of Petrossian Imperial Kaluga Caviar.

The Champagne & Caviar Bar, located in the Guesthouse cellar, is a luminous 32-seat experience serving the highest grades of Petrossian Caviar and a curated list of some of the world’s finest Champagnes.

“The RH Guesthouse has been designed through a lens of privacy and luxury,” said Gary Friedman, CEO and chairman, RH. “Privacy is the one thing everyone has given away on social media, and the one thing the internet has taken away, as you can access anyone online. We believe privacy is going to become a large and important market, and the RH Guesthouse has an opportunity to define that new market with an unseen-before level of design, quality, and hospitality.”

A study of balance, symmetry and perfect proportions, The Guest Rooms and Suites are meticulously designed and fitted like a bespoke suit. European-oak walls, floors, ceilings and moldings flow seamlessly into two full bathrooms clad in warm, vein-matched Italian travertine slabs. A wall of classically detailed south-facing soundproof windows and architectural lighting illuminate every detail, ensuring a glowing room, day or night.

The gourmet pantry is filled with a selection of charcuterie, crudités, berries and a fresh baguette. Guests can work out in the privacy of their room with stainless-steel and walnut kettlebells, dumbbells, leather yoga blocks, mats and Bosu ball.

Guests also enjoy access to the private rooftop with panoramic views of Freedom Tower and Hudson River sunsets. Breakfast, lunch or a candlelit dinner is available on the dining terrace year-round, and travertine daybeds overlook the 40-foot mosaic infinity pool.

The Residence is a singular 2,600-square-foot, full-floor private penthouse with an open-concept design featuring 11-foot coffered ceilings, elegant boiserie walls, Corinthian columns and herringbone floors. A monolithic Italian travertine fireplace and chef’s kitchen with a stainless-steel La Cornue range anchor each end of the space, framing a hand-carved, travertine, eight-person dining table. Against a backdrop of European oak, guests can relax on upholstered Loro Piana cashmere seating, host meals prepared by a personal chef and take in cinematic views of the Meatpacking District and downtown cityscape.

The Rooftop Garden, Pool & Dining Terrace is an architectural oasis of sculpted hedges and London plane trees surrounding a 40-foot mosaic infinity pool with panoramic views. The travertine daybeds float above a vein-matched travertine slab decking with motorized and heated TUUCI umbrellas.

Located in the historic Meatpacking District, only steps from RH New York gallery, RH Guesthouse New York occupies a restored and reimagined triangular loft building constructed in 1887. A singular aesthetic defined by floor-to-ceiling European oak and vein-cut Italian travertine, layered with Italian wool-velvet upholstery and stainless-steel accents, creates a series of statement spaces at once timeless and contemporary.

RH Guesthouse New York is located at 55 Gansevoort St.
