Hotel Barrière Fouquet's New York
New York City, New York, United States · Groupe Barrière · Grand Luxury
Fouquet's on the Champs-Élysées has been a Parisian institution since 1899, the brasserie where Édith Piaf and Marlène Dietrich once dined and where France still hands out its Prix Lumière for cinema. Barrière spent two years engineering a way to bring it to Tribeca: the hotel's basement drops twenty-five feet below the Hudson River water table, so builders sank a secant-pile wall, an interlocking ring of concrete cylinders, before construction could even begin above ground. Martin Brudnizki translated the brasserie's DNA into ninety-seven jewel-toned rooms when it opened in 2022, earning MICHELIN Two Keys in 2025.
- 97 rooms
- Opened 2022
- Neighborhood: SoHo
- Interiors: Martin Brudnizki Design Studio
About Hotel Barrière Fouquet's New York
- Le Vaux, the rooftop space, borrows its name and mood from the gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte outside Paris.
- Brasserie Fouquet's extends the actual Paris menu to lower Manhattan, alongside an all-day bistro called Elysée's and a cocktail room named Titsou Bar.
- The spa sits below street level too, with an indoor pool, steam room, sauna, and five treatment rooms.
History
The Barriere group's roots run to the 1920s, when Francois-Andre Barriere began building the French luxury hospitality empire that would eventually encompass casinos, resorts, and the most celebrated brasserie address in Paris. Fouquet's on the Champs-Elysees opened in 1899 and became a Parisian institution — a place where Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich dined, where French presidents and film stars have always been seen, where the Prix Lumiere for French cinema is awarded. In 1998, the Barriere group acquired Fouquet's, and in 2006 opened Hotel Barriere Le Fouquet's in a purpose-built tower directly above the brasserie at the corner of the Champs-Elysees and Avenue George-V. The New York translation arrived in 2022, in a purpose-built building in Tribeca designed by Stephen B. Jacobs Group. The site sat within the Tribeca North Historic District, which required that the new construction engage the neighborhood's cast-iron and brick industrial vocabulary.
The building descends twenty-five feet below the Hudson River; the basement levels required a secant-pile retaining system — essentially a watertight wall of interlocking concrete cylinders — two years in engineering before construction could begin. British interior designer Martin Brudnizki was commissioned to translate the Fouquet's DNA into 97 rooms and suites, creating interiors of deep jewel tones, velvet furnishings, and carefully sourced custom objects that evoke a private Parisian club without attempting to replicate one. Brasserie Fouquet's opened on the ground floor, extending the Paris menu and atmosphere to lower Manhattan; the Titsou Bar, an all-day bistro called Elysee's, and a rooftop outdoor space called Le Vaux — inspired by the gardens of Vaux-le-Vicomte — completed the food and beverage program. A subterranean spa with an indoor pool, steam room, sauna, and five treatment rooms, plus a cinema, rounded out the amenities. MICHELIN awarded Hotel Barriere Fouquet's New York Two Keys in its 2025 guide, recognizing it as the most coherent expression of French luxury sensibility in the American hotel market.
The setting
Hotel Barrière Fouquet's New York at 456 Greenwich Street occupies the northern edge of TriBeCa — a neighborhood evolved from 19th-century industrial lofts and cast-iron warehousing into one of Manhattan's most coveted residential and dining destinations. The Hudson River is one block west and One World Trade Center is eighteen minutes on foot, while the cobblestone streets connect directly to SoHo's gallery corridor to the north. The Parisian Fouquet's brand — flagship on the Champs-Élysées since 1899 — chose TriBeCa for its kinship with Left Bank sensibility: a creative, intimate neighborhood where world-class dining and the city's most authentic street life converge. 19-minute walk to 9/11 Memorial & Museum.
