Swan Room
At Nine Orchard · 1F
The main teller hall of the 1912 Jarmulowsky Bank converted into a cocktail bar with almost nothing removed. The vaulted plasterwork ceiling and original banking hall columns are intact, framing a room that would be impossible to build today. It's one of the most impressive interiors of any bar in New York.

Atmosphere
Walking in, you feel the weight of a room designed to inspire trust. The ceilings are high enough to create real acoustic presence without the space feeling cold. The drinks are priced to match what surrounds them, and for once that feels justified.
Key features
Sender Jarmulowsky built this bank specifically to serve Jewish immigrants who had no access to mainstream American banking. The building's authority was architectural by design: if you walked into a room this grand, you believed your money was safe. Nine Orchard understood that the most honest thing to do with that history was to leave it visible. The Swan Room doesn't interpret the past. It continues it.

About the hotel
The former Jarmulowsky Bank building on Orchard Street, a 1912 Beaux-Arts tower built to earn the trust of Jewish immigrants on the Lower East Side, restored by Roman and Williams into a hotel that treats its history as the architecture rather than the theme. The building still has everything: the ornate plasterwork, the vaulted banking hall, the proportions of a room designed to signal permanence. Staying here means staying on one of the most layered blocks in New York.
