At New York Custom Interior Millwork (NYCIM), we specialize in elevating commercial spaces with bespoke millwork solutions that blend form, function, and artistry. Our recent collaboration with The Westin Jersey City Newport is a shining example of how custom woodwork and thoughtful design can transform a hotel into a stylish, sophisticated, and adaptable space.
From the grand ballroom and event areas to the hallways, elevators, and ceiling panels, we applied meticulous craftsmanship and creative precision to every element. The result? A venue that is as elegant as it is functional, designed to impress guests from the moment they walk through the door.
Reconnecting with Our Craft: The Blue Book Network Event
In November, our team had the pleasure of attending The Blue Book Network event at The Westin Jersey City. This event gave us the opportunity to revisit one of our proudest projects and see how our custom millwork continues to define and enhance the space.
1. Industry Networking & Collaboration
Reconnecting with industry peers – The event allowed us to strengthen relationships with fellow contractors, project managers, and industry leaders, sparking new opportunities for future collaborations.
Showcasing our craftsmanship – Seeing our millwork on full display throughout the venue was a rewarding reminder of our dedication to quality and design excellence.
Building new connections – We met potential collaborators and clients, expanding our network of partners who share our passion for transforming commercial spaces.
2. A Walkthrough of Our Work
As we walked through the Westin’s interiors, we were proud to see how our millwork had stood the test of time, maintaining its beauty and functionality. From the ballroom entryway to the event spaces, our work continues to define the hotel’s aesthetic.
The Grand Ballroom: Where Style Meets Functionality
The ballroom at The Westin Jersey City serves as the focal point for events, hosting everything from corporate conferences to elegant weddings. To enhance this space, we incorporated custom millwork solutions that add warmth, versatility, and timeless sophistication.
1. Custom Teak Wood Entryway Doors
First impressions matter, which is why we crafted grand, custom-made entryway doors from solid teak wood.
The doors were complemented with base molding and a stained lacquer finish, giving them a rich, elegant appearance.
The natural grain of the teak adds warmth and texture, creating a striking first impression for every guest.
2. Transformable Event Space with Sliding Door Systems
To make the ballroom versatile and multi-functional, we installed a custom sliding door system with built-in wall paneling and trim dividers.
The sliding doors allow the space to be divided into four to five smaller rooms, providing flexibility for different event sizes.
This system ensures the ballroom can adapt seamlessly to various events, from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations.
The trim dividers and paneling maintain a cohesive, stylish aesthetic, even when the space is sectioned off.
The Suspended Teak Wood Trellis: A Ceiling That Steals the Show
One of the most eye-catching features we crafted for The Westin Jersey City is the suspended teak wood trellis ceiling. This custom installation adds depth, dimension, and texture to the space, creating a visually stunning focal point.
1. Architectural Sophistication
The trellis-style ceiling panels were designed with precision-cut teak wood slats, suspended to create a sense of airiness and dimension.
Each piece was treated with a sleek lacquer finish, giving the ceiling a rich, polished look.
The refined wood grain and warm tones create a welcoming and luxurious ambiance, perfect for events of all kinds.
2. Functional Beauty
The trellis ceiling doesn’t just look stunning—it also enhances the room’s acoustics by softening ambient noise.
The suspended design allows for discreet placement of lighting and ventilation systems, preserving the clean, seamless aesthetic.
This ceiling feature adds both visual and practical value, making it a standout element in the venue.
Seamless Integration: Millwork Throughout the Hotel
Beyond the ballroom, our custom millwork can be found throughout The Westin Jersey City, adding cohesion and elegance to every corner.
1. The Long Island Hotel-Inspired Hallway
In a hallway inspired by Long Island’s modern luxury hotels, we crafted:
Fire-rated, custom teak doors – Designed to frame the elevators and viewing glass, offering both safety and style.
Matching surround wall paneling – This creates a cohesive look, making the hallway feel sleek, spacious, and seamless.
The warm wood tones contrast beautifully with the glass and steel elements, adding a refined elegance to the space.
2. Window Framing & Trim Work
Throughout the hotel, we installed custom wood window frames and trim work, enhancing the architectural details of each space.
The trim provides a refined border around the large windows, framing the stunning city views with elegance.
The consistent design language ties the entire hotel together, creating a cohesive, luxurious aesthetic.
