The Bowery House is an historic hotel on the Bowery in the Nolita neighborhood of New York City established by Italian race car driver Alessandro Zampedri and American real estate entrepreneur Sanford Kunkel.

History

220 Bowery first opened its doors as The Prince Hotel in 1927. By the 1940s, in an era when the Bowery was known as New York City's "Skid Row," the hotel had been transformed to accommodate soldiers returning home from World War II. All of the floors were rebuilt with single room cabins, bunk rooms, and communal bathrooms to maximize occupancy and the hotel became more akin to a flophouse. While these rooms were meant to be temporary lodging, guests of The Prince Hotel could indulge in all of the vices that the neighborhood provided and many of its occupants stayed on for extended periods of time. It is these very residents that would later add the lore of the Bowery.

Since the 1990s the area has been reviving. The establishment of high-rise condominiums and upscale businesses on the Bowery marks a new era for the ever-changing neighborhood. Part museum and part hotel, The Bowery House strives to preserve the rich history and integrity of the original structure while simultaneously providing chic accommodations for travelers from all over the world.^[1]

Rooms

Cabins: There are three types of cabins at The Bowery House: Original Cabins, Twin Cabins, and Full Cabins. The most abundant room type is the Original Cabin, outfitted with 69" beds. The Twin Cabins contain twin-sized beds and the Full Cabins sport full-sized beds. All of the cabins contain mason jar lights, Bowery-themed artwork, and restored latticework ceilings.

Bunk Rooms: The Bowery House contains five bunk rooms: the Museum Bunk, facing The New Museum, the Bowery Bunk, the Peppers Bunk--named after one of The Prince Hotel's longtime residents, the Nolita Bunk, and the all-female Elizabeth Bunk, named after the street that it faces. The bunk rooms can accommodate anywhere from six to twelve occupants.

The Prince Room: The Prince Room is the most exclusive room at The Bowery House, equipped with a queen-sized bed and modern amenities. Its name is a tribute to the building's prior establishment.

The Bowery Kitchen

The Bowery Kitchen is The Bowery House's upcoming restaurant, expected to open in the Spring of 2012.
