About The Maritime Hotel (themaritimehotel.com) With its signature porthole windows, white-tiled exterior, and elevated outdoor terraces overlooking Ninth Avenue, the nautical-themed modernist landmark Maritime continues to reign as the calm, cool hub of this hyperkinetic neighborhood. Designed, developed, and owned by hoteliers Eric Goode and Sean MacPherson, The Maritime feels genuine and personal. Built in 1968 as headquarters for the National Maritime Union, the striking, curvilinear building was designed by New Orleans architect Albert Ledner, a modernist icon himself who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright. The building’s original nautical spirit infuses guest rooms and public areas, interpreted with the wit and individualism guests have come to expect from MacPherson and Goode, the duo behind headline-making restaurants like The Waverly Inn and lodgings like The Bowery Hotel. The meticulous terrazzo lobby resembles classic 1960s flooring; room desk calendars are printed on airmail-themed paper exclusive to the hotel; vintage National Geographic magazines line a suite’s shelf. “The Maritime feels like it’s always been here. The building is a treasure, the furnishings have stories, the restaurants have true character,” MacPherson says. “As the neighborhood becomes more international, the kind of guest we attract wants authenticity and a real sense of place.” For more information contact Drew Rosser at Whiteboard Labs ([email protected]) About Whiteboard Labs  Whiteboard Labs is a
