GrandLife Hotels’ new website allows guests to experience the authentic New York lifestyle

The GrandLife Hotels, the Soho Grand and Tribeca Grand, have released a new website using the essence of GrandLifeNYC and transforming it into a new way for guests to engage with New York City.

The result seamlessly delivers comprehensive hotel pages with on the pulse lifestyle and editorial content, intimate neighborhood recommendations, and an extensive events calendar. This innovative move offers guests a unique opportunity to experience the authentic lifestyle brand and once again sets the Soho Grand and Tribeca Grand apart from other hotels of their kind.

grandlifehotels.com is a visually stunning interactive online portal for locals, hotel visitors, and global culture vultures seeking the best downtown New York City has to offer. GrandLife Hotels appointed digital agency SwedenUnlimited—renowned for their highly successful imprint across Proenza Schouler, Jason Wu, The Row, Vera Wang, Charlotte Ronson, and V Magazine—for the design and development of the site.

Among the website’s unique features is a dynamic relationship between “The Locals" section; personal contributions from noteworthy downtown tastemakers such as Alan Cumming, Steven Alan, Peter Blachley, and Nick Zinner, and the Hotels’ “Neighborhood Guide". Guests get inside information from compelling and reputable sources, including the Hotels’ own Creative Director, Tommy Saleh.

The Neighbourhood Guide will spotlight fresh content, reporting on the best undiscovered nightlife spots and favourite go-to’s, including upcoming gallery exhibitions, new restaurants, and must-do outings. The website will become an invaluable resource and port of reference for visitors and locals alike rediscovering the neighbourhood through the eyes of the individuals who call it home.

Additionally, the GrandLife Hotels’ iPhone and web-based mobile app will be available for free download directly from the website. The app features the Neighbourhood Guide and practical travellers’ tools such as currency exchange, tipping guides, geo-maps based recommendations, and all the latest event updates across GrandLife Hotels’ properties whether they be underground music gigs, impromptu Fashion Week shows, or weekend specials for the spontaneous Big Apple visit.

The “Culture" blog, and the bi-monthly newsletter, “This Is New York", feature exclusive editorial content from the hotels and a selection of GrandLife contributors – entities delved from some of New York’s most influential and respected creative sources. The site also includes the “Guestbook", where visitors are encouraged to upload their own GrandLife experiences via testimonial and photographs, sharing their unique take on downtown Manhattan for future visitors’ perusal.
