Reclaimed materials are used throughout the hotel – wood from old and demolished buildings up and down the east coast, mirrors from the Flatiron building removed during a renovation and antique light fittings salvaged and restored. Handmade bricks surface the building and were made by a company in Pennsylvania who are the last to produce bricks by hand in the traditional method.
