Since its opening, at the intersection of Chinatown and the Lower East Side in June, Nine Orchard has been a destination hotel for those seeking a plush New York experience in what is inarguably the city’s neighborhood of the moment. When the chef Ignacio Mattos opened Corner Bar and the lobby lounge Swan Room, the Beaux-Arts building that was formerly a bank became a gathering spot for New Yorkers. Corner Bar’s design, by Fernando Santangelo (known for his work at the Chateau Marmont) and others, was inspired by a playground and carousel in Biarritz, says Mattos. That light, French-ish feel means that it’s as bright and welcoming over oeufs brouillés with bottarga for a breakfast meeting as it is clubby and cozy when you return for a stellar late-night burger and cocktail at the wood-paneled bar alongside artists such as Harold Ancart and Vogue-anointed designers like Emily Adams Bode Aujla, whose men’s-wear store is nearby. —Christine Muhlke
