An oasis amidst the wholesale stores on the block,
The Opening Ceremony boutique in the Ace Hotel NYC is like a
fashionable traveler's dream,
hotel gift shop and boutique all in one.
How cool is this?
This outpost feels more open and warmer than the Soho original,
with lots of natural light, high ceilings and bright colors throughout the store
. Along with overlapping stock from the flagship
(Opening Ceremony label, Alexander Wang, etc)
there's also a trove of clever, travel-focused items
that are exclusive to the Ace location.
The limited-edition Tumi for Opening Ceremony line
offers bright, color-blocked carry-on kits,
satchels and laptop cases. The Opening-Ceremony–
branded toothbrushes in punchy colors
and the matching toiletry kits ($20) are whimsically fun
and totally practical—perfect for the forgetful hipster tourist
(or if you have that last minute overnight guest).
And we wanted to buy the bright leather luggage tags
in every color for $25 each
Also thoughtfully in supply are Haribo gummy bears and snacks,
an eclectic mix of DVDs (from Hoop Dreams to Jean Renoir),
art magazines and of course the Pegleg NYC PJ sets
. A foil nail art manicurist will be on site once a week offering
$55 manicures, too. The boutique hits the needs of all audiences
—locals in need of a fashion fix and trendy travelers
looking for innovative and cutting edge New York shopping.
Hmm, someone from our outpost
will be in NYC, have to check it out.
cheers!
