The Hotel

OurInspiration

The Artezen hotel celebrates “arte” the Italian word connoting excellence in any field or endeavor and “zen” which means the constant pursuit of balance and harmony in one’s life.

The Principals of The Artezen Hotel, as first generation, successful Italian-American entrepreneurs, pay homage to their fathers and grandfathers who come from a proud heritage of Sicilian masons and carpenters. We are inspired by the history of the Shoemaker’s Land, and the first early tanners in Manhattan such as John Harpendingh, who brought the intricate art of shoe-making to New York City. We celebrate the rich history of the Greatest City in the World, and honor all individuals who go beyond themselves in their work and combine their skills with passion, creativity, and a pioneering spirit.

We hold true to the core values of hard work and integrity, and the desire to provide the highest quality of hospitality and customer service for our guests.
