US: Furnished Quarters has announced the launch of its Q&A residential hotel brand.
The company says the brand “pays homage to creativity, innovation, and providing solutions for today’s business traveller. All suites will be full-sized, furnished, turnkey apartments-most with separate office space. Q&A expects to open its doors in spring 2015 at Manhattan’s iconic 70 Pine in the Financial District.”
“In a fast-changing world, you need to be creative to be relevant,” said Steve Brown, CEO of Furnished Quarters. “And that’s just what we are doing with Q&A – providing short-stay live-work suites within our hotel that feel like home and are available for shorter stays than traditional corporate apartments.”
Ranging from 450 to 1,400 square feet, Q&A’s suites will be more than twice the size of a typical New York City hotel room and each will contain a fully equipped kitchen.
Q&A at 70 Pine will feature 132 suites over four floors of the historic Art Deco building in studio, one- and two-bedroom configurations. Hotel services at the location will include complimentary continental breakfast, concierge services, and preferential access to the rooftop lounge and restaurant. Services include a fitness facility, a fully business centre, shared and private work and conference spaces, and valet laundry and dry cleaning services.
Rose Associates, the New York-based, full-service real estate firm, is developing 70 Pine with DTH Capital. In addition to the hotel, more than 600 rental apartments as well as restaurants and retail will occupy the mixed-use building.
