Radio Hotel

Radio Hotel introduces a bolt of color and energy to the Washington Heights neighborhood, standing as the first full-service boutique hotel in this vibrant uptown community. The property’s most defining feature is its architecture, a “vertical village” of stacked blocks in eight different bright, glazed brick colors, designed to reflect the lively shopfronts of the surrounding area. This eye-catching structure creates a new landmark for Upper Manhattan and serves as a dynamic hub connecting the neighborhood with visitors.

The hotel’s design fosters a strong sense of community and place, celebrating the local Dominican culture through its on-site restaurant and lively atmosphere. The interior spaces continue the colorful, contemporary theme of the exterior, creating a seamless experience from the street to the room. With its location far north of the city’s typical hotel corridors, it offers a unique and authentic perspective on New York City, providing a stylish gateway to the attractions of Upper Manhattan, the Bronx, and beyond.
