About The Putman
- At the June 2007 launch she called Morgans, which she dated to 1983, her first answer to hotel living, and The Putman the next one. Christian Louboutin was in the room.
- National Properties Holdings developed the block with Citigroup Property Investors. The plan was long-stay executives, and the opening rates were talked about at about HK$50,000 a month.
- Each 1,300-square-foot floor was drawn with one of three living areas, a standalone bathtub, and its own pair of lifts, which is the rarity in a Sheung Wan tower.
- Entry-level rooms start at 250 sq ft (23 m²).
History
Andrée Putman conceived The Putman in 2007 with National Properties Holdings and Citigroup Property Investors. She oversaw the site, the glass facade, the plans, and the interiors, and she described it as the next step after Morgans in New York, which she dated to 1983. Twenty-eight one-bedroom apartments, each a full floor of about 1,300 square feet with a private dual-lift lobby, were aimed at long-stay business guests. A March 2007 report expected an April opening. The launch party was on 4 June 2007. Her studio still lists the project as a 2007 aparthotel.
The setting
The door is 202 Queen's Road Central in Sheung Wan, on the western stretch of that road, a walk from Hollywood Road and the galleries. Sheung Wan station is the nearer stop. The business core of Central is further east.
