The 374-key property occupies a new, 42-story structure by Stonehill Taylor, a leading New York City–based firm that also designed the hotel’s interiors.

As one of the first of Hilton's new Motto brand properties to open, this project sets a standard for those to come.

It incorporates the brand's lively and spacious food and beverage venues with streamlined guest rooms that have been carefully engineered and crafted to fulfill every guest need featuring clever touches within a minimal footprint.

The hotel’s setting within a former theater district and current arts district inspired the use of unique art installations and dramatic arches in the hotel’s public spaces and guest rooms.

However, it was the venue’s 24th Street address that acted as the main design muse, as Stonehill Taylor used the number 24 and its significance in different contexts as a spark for the hotel’s color scheme, furnishings, finishes, and artwork.
