The Mercer

About The Mercer

Christian Liaigre’s restrained interiors give The Mercer its particular take on SoHo loft living: high ceilings, open layouts, oversized windows, and an emphasis on proportion. Set inside a landmark Romanesque Revival building at Mercer and Prince Streets, the independently operated hotel has 73 rooms and suites facing the neighborhood’s cobblestoned streets or an interior garden. Some add exposed brick or wood-burning fireplaces; the Courtyard Loft Suite opens onto its own 1,000-square-foot terrace. Downstairs, Sartiano’s serves Alfred Portale’s Italian menu in a Studio Sofield–designed dining room with Carrara marble counters and leather bar seats. The restaurant also supplies the guest-only lobby, making that private space a useful extension of the rooms upstairs.

Why Celebrities Love The Mercer

The guest-only lobby gives the Mercer a convincing answer to the desire for company on one's own terms. Dinner can come upstairs to a room or remain a relaxed affair in that residents' space. Outside, SoHo's galleries, boutiques and cast-iron streets offer a setting closely aligned with creative city life.
