Located in a 1928 beaux-arts building, the hotel aims to provide guests with the feeling of a private home. Neutral colors are juxtaposed with jewel tones in the design. Anna Busta stated that this approach transforms the hotel into a warm and elegant home-like atmosphere.
2Handcrafted Materials and Details
Busta Studio used handmade materials such as bronze, glass, and mosaic stones in the hotel's interior. White plaster ceilings and details provide a minimalist yet elegant look. Jonathan Busta emphasized that these materials strengthen the hotel's townhouse concept and make guests feel special.
3Custom Art Collection and Decor
The hotel is adorned with specially commissioned artworks and decorative objects. Graphics, original paintings, photographs, and sculptures add a warm and inviting atmosphere to the interior.

5Tactile Materials for a Homey Feel
Velvet, linen, natural leather, and boucle fabrics were used in the hotel to enhance the home-like feel. These materials ensure guests feel comfortable and relaxed. Busta Studio stated that these tactile details complete the hotel's design and enhance the guest experience.
6Privacy from the Bustle of Park Avenue
The hotel is equipped with custom louvers to shield guests from the hustle of Park Avenue. The entrance lobby features a custom mosaic with the hotel's KA initials, welcoming guests. This detail allows guests to enjoy a peaceful environment away from the city's noise.
