New York City is synonymous with sophistication, style, and architectural brilliance. Nestled in the heart of Times Square, LUMA Hotel embodies this ethos, offering a sleek, modern sanctuary amid the vibrant energy of Manhattan.
At New York Custom Interior Millwork, we take immense pride in elevating luxury spaces through meticulously crafted millwork, and our contribution to LUMA Hotel Times Square is one we are especially proud of. From the lobby and bar to the restaurant and lounge areas, every element was transformed through our expert craftsmanship, creating an ambiance that is both sophisticated and inviting.
Let’s take you inside the details of this breathtaking project and explore how our custom millwork helped shape one of New York’s most striking modern hotels.
A Modern Vision Brought to Life
LUMA Hotel Times Square is renowned for its modern aesthetic, which seamlessly blends bold design choices with warm, inviting elements. Our role in this project was to ensure that the luxury of the space was reflected in every detail, using high-quality materials and precision craftsmanship.
Key Elements We Transformed:
- The Ceiling: Custom-designed treatments that add depth, warmth, and architectural interest.
- The Bar & Bar Back: Stunning walnut panels with sap wood accents, finished to perfection.
- The Lobby & Lounge: A dynamic mix of materials, including wood and metal mesh, to create a sleek yet inviting space.
- The Restaurant: Custom woodwork from the walls to the ceiling, enhancing the warmth of the space.
- Concierge Desk: A statement piece, featuring walnut panels and a unique metal mesh panel with perforated holes for a modern, illuminated effect.
Each of these elements was designed not just to be visually striking but to create an experience, inviting guests to linger and soak in the ambiance.
The Heart of Hospitality: A Lobby That Wows
First impressions matter, and LUMA Hotel’s lobby sets the stage for a luxury experience. Our team was tasked with creating a space that felt both modern and welcoming, using materials that reflected the sleek, urban energy of Times Square while maintaining warmth and intimacy.
Key Features in the Lobby:
Custom Walnut Wall Paneling with Sap Edges – The paneling adds a sense of refined luxury, with the natural wood grain offering warmth and depth.
Metal Mesh Panel with Perforated Holes – Placed behind the concierge desk, this unique detail illuminates softly, giving a futuristic yet inviting feel.
Stained Lacquer Finish – Applied throughout the space, this finish enhances the richness of the wood and ensures durability in a high-traffic area.
The result? A lobby that feels grand yet intimate, sleek yet inviting—an ideal welcome into one of the city’s premier hotels.
An Exquisite Bar: The Centerpiece of the Hotel
No luxury hotel is complete without an elegant, welcoming bar, and LUMA’s bar area is a true showstopper. We were thrilled to craft the custom millwork that defines this space, from the bar itself to the back bar and surrounding accents.
What Makes This Bar Special?
- Walnut Laid-Up Wall Panels with Sap Wood Accents: These panels create an organic, natural feel, balancing the modern finishes of the space.
- Custom Bar Back Design: Featuring a sleek, well-lit arrangement that enhances the depth and ambiance.
- Curved and Stained Elements: The bar’s shape and finishes invite guests to relax and enjoy the atmosphere.
Whether guests are sipping an evening cocktail or enjoying a casual afternoon break, the bar at LUMA Hotel is a destination within itself, exuding effortless sophistication.
Dining in Style: The Artistry of LUMA’s Restaurant
LUMA’s on-site restaurant is a masterclass in understated luxury, and we were honored to craft the custom woodwork that defines the space. The warm, neutral color palette and thoughtful use of materials immediately set the tone for an elevated dining experience.
Our Contributions to the Restaurant’s Design:
Full Wall and Ceiling Millwork – Creating a cohesive, high-end look.
Strategic Lighting Integration – Highlighting the richness of the materials.
Natural Walnut Finishes – Enhancing the warmth and elegance of the space.
By combining premium materials with a precise, high-end finish, the restaurant embodies everything that makes LUMA Hotel a standout in modern hospitality.
