Firmdale Hotels has opened its first hotel outside of the UK - the Crosby Street Hotel in SoHo, New York.

The Crosby Street Hotel has 86 rooms and suites, a bar and restaurant, a central garden, a screening room and a gym. Interiors are by Kit Kemp and are described as 'fresh, quirky and contemporary'.

The ground floor features wide oak floorboards, large metal framed windows and a 10ft-high Jaume Plensa steel scultpure of a human head made from letters. The guest bedrooms are all individually styled and feature original artworks and oversized warehouse-style windows.

The cinema screening room has 99 orange leather seats and walls padded in violet wool.

The hotel is aiming to be certified Gold LEED by the US Green Building Council.
