The Soho Grand Hotel is a luxury boutique hotel located at 310 West Broadway between Grand and Canal Streets in the SoHo neighborhood of Lower Manhattan, New York City at the former location of Church of St. Alphonsus Liguori. 〔("New York's Soho Grand Hotel Unleashes Dog Park" ) 〕 It has 353 guestrooms, including ten suites and two penthouses. With the Roxy Hotel (FormerlyTribeca Grand Hotel), they make up GrandLife Hotels and are owned and operated by Leonard N. Stern of Hartz Mountain Industries. Opened on August 4, 1996, the Soho Grand was the first boutique hotel built in SoHo in more than a century. News of the build initiated significant opposition from local residents; eight prior attempts to build a hotel there in the preceding decade had failed〔Martin. Douglas. (" Archives In SoHo, an Outcry From the Lofts; Artists Organizations to Fight Hotel in Neighborhood" ) ''New York Times'' (March 25, 1995)〕 ==Design== The Soho Grand was designed by David Helpern of Helpern Architects to meld into the local neighborhood.〔Piorko, Janet. ("Travel Advisory: SoHo to Get a Hotel And a Canine Amenity" ) ''New York Times'' (July 28, 1996)〕 The interiors are designed by William Sofield of Studio Sofield.〔Gabriel, Trip. ("Awash in Chic, Embattled Hotel Hopes to Fit In" ) ''New York Times'' (August 1, 1996)〕 The architecture and design incorporate elements including bottle glass and cast iron molding, both of which are prominent in neighborhood buildings from SoHo industrial history.〔Pareles, Jon. ("Hotel Lets Out-of-Towners Mix With Downtowners" ) ''New York Times'' (August 16, 1996)〕 Renovations have continued within the hotel since its opening; in 2004, the hotel introduced two penthouse loft suites, winners of the Interior Design Gold Key award.〔Renzi, Jen. ("Come Right In" ) ''Interior Design'' (September 1, 2004)〕 The hotel’s lounge, the Salon, underwent a redesign in 2008, and its dining room and private parlor, the Club Room, followed in 2009. Soho Grand’s guestrooms and Suites’ design direction take their cue from the public spaces. In 2010, the hotel unveiled ten suites designed by William Sofield that feature wall coverings designed by New Yorker illustrator, Saul Steinberg.〔Adams, William Lee.
