History

citizenM developed a repeatable compact room while giving more space to the shared living areas. At the Bowery hotel, factory-built modules sit above a double-height living room and a plaza open to the Lower East Side. Earlier at Times Square, the same idea combined compact bedrooms with a substantial lobby and a roof reserved for guests.
