WestHouse New York Introduces Bespoke Fashion, Beauty & Lifestyle Amenities

Recently opened in December 2013, WestHouse welcomes guests, known as residents, to a “house away from home” boasting a curated portfolio of upscale amenities, exclusive experiences and thoughtful touches.

Designed by award-winning firm Jeffrey Beers International, WestHouse blends the elegant residential comforts of an upscale New York City townhouse from the 1920s with the luxurious ambience of a refined hotel. Following its opening, the hotel is pleased to announce a roster of sensational amenities developed through partnerships with some of the most exciting fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands. Each lavish amenity has been handpicked and developed to ensure guests truly feel comfortable while staying at WestHouse.
