"Located in a landmarked former bank circa 1912 that opened in 2022, the property is the subject of talks for a takeover of its on-site restaurants by a Texas hospitality group. Community Board documents indicate the group is on track to take over the hotel's restaurant, the lobby bar, and potentially the rooftop; April Bloomfield overseeing the Manhattan property would be part of her new role with the group. The liquor license application submitted to CB3 outlines plans to operate a "New American restaurant with an emphasis on seasonal cooking," open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to midnight, with a maximum of 68 tables and a bar area (the application notes the building, which includes multiple restaurant areas, seats potentially over 400, with more than one bar). A source says that if the deal goes through, the hospitality group will not make changes to the culinary staff for at least a year. The property has already been a flashpoint for restaurant drama—an initial flagship lobby restaurant opened in 2022 and drew immediate buzz, a ground-floor fine-dining concept was fully designed but never opened, and earlier ownership tensions have been reported—and the hotel was purchased in 2011 for $33 million amid rapid neighborhood change." - Melissa McCart
"This Lower East Side hotel is known for its playful cocktails created by bar director Stacey Swenson. Head to its Corner Bar for the Hotel Tropicale, a blend of Zacapa No. 23 Rum, copalli cacao, chartreuse, almond, passionfruit, and lime. It’s an ideal spot for girl dinner: Split a yuzu-scented beef tartare with a friend or tuck into a classic Caesar salad with a side of rosemary french fries." - Lee Musho
"Nine Orchard is a hotel located in the historic Jarmulowsky Bank building in New York City. It offers a blend of classic architecture and modern amenities, providing a luxurious and warm stay for guests." - Kevin Chau
"In Dimes Square there’s a buzz that’s reminiscent of some of Downtown’s earlier golden ages — and, in Nine Orchard itself, there’s a hotel with enough character and personality to become a proper neighborhood institution." - Mark Fedeli
"A painstakingly restored 1912 neoclassical building (the former Jarmulowsky Bank) turned elegant Lower East Side hotel that pairs heritage architecture with a celebrated culinary program led by chef Ignacio Mattos—Corner Bar and the Swan Room cocktail lounge—and 113 rooms (with 12 convertible into two-bedroom suites), several with brick-paved terraces and city views, furnished with a curated mix of antiques and vintage modern pieces." - Jennifer Flowers
