"This is not a hotel. This is our house, and you are our guest. Everything is designed for your privacy and comfort,” is the tenet whispered at the breathtaking new RH GUESTHOUSE in New York City. The pristine property is an integration of services, surfaces and spaces designed to erase the chaos of the outside world. Globally renowned as a curator of design, taste and style in the luxury life- style market, RH the Company offers collections through its retail galleries, source books and online at RH.com. With the recent opening of RH Guesthouse New York, travelers seeking privacyand luxury will experience a first-of-its-kind level of hospitality.


Accessed through a secure private entrance, the intimate property features just six guest rooms, three guest suites, and RH Chairman & CEO Gary Friedman’s private residence occupying the entire top floor, which is available for booking at certain times. Each of the Guest Rooms and Suites include: two full bathrooms, a freshly stocked gourmet pantry, an in-room gym and exclusive use of the rooftop garden, pool & dining terrace with panoramic views of Downtown New York, the Freedom Tower and the Hudson River.

RH Chairman & CEO Gary Friedman shares, “The RH Guest- house has been designed through a lens of privacy and luxury. Privacy is the one thing everyone has given away on social media, and the one thing the internet has taken away, as you can access anyone online. We believe privacy is going to become a large and important market, and the RH Guesthouse has an opportunity to define that new market with an unseen-before level of design, quality and hospitality.”


A study of balance, symmetry and perfect proportions, The Guest Rooms and Suites are meticulously designed and exquisitely fitted like a bespoke suit. European-oak walls, floors, ceilings and moldings flow seamlessly into two full bathrooms clad in warm, vein-matched Italian travertine slabs. A wall of classically detailed south-facing soundproof windows and architectural lighting illuminate every detail, ensuring a room that glows day or night. Enjoy an afternoon snack in your personal gourmet pantry filled with a selection of charcuterie, crudités, berries and a fresh baguette.




For guests who desire the ultimate “wow factor” look no further than “The Residence”, a spectacular 2,600-square- foot, full-floor private penthouse. The open-concept design features 11-foot coffered ceilings, elegant boiserie walls, Corinthian columns and herringbone floors. A monolithic Italian-travertine fireplace and chef’s kitchen with a stain- less-steel La Cornue range anchor each end of the spectacular space, framing a hand-carved travertine dining table with seating for eight. Against a backdrop of European oak, guests can luxuriate on upholstered Loro Piana–cashmere seating, and host meals prepared by a personal chef as they take in cinematic views of the Meatpacking District and downtown cityscape. Curious about the cost of this level of luxury? “The Residence” rate starts at $30K with a two night minimum.


The Guesthouse also features The Dining Room & Terrace, a dramatic live-fire restaurant serving a wood- grilled Australian Wagyu ribeye, fresh-carved rotisserie chicken, a whole branzino cooked over Japanese Binchotan charcoal and the house favorite, a wood-grilled avocado with 15 grams of Petrossian Imperial Kaluga Caviar. Thirsty?
Head down to the Champagne & Caviar Bar, located in the Guesthouse cellar, a luminous 32-seat experience serving the highest grades of Petrossian Caviar and a curated list of some of the world’s finest champagnes to pair it with.


Don’t fret about your champagne and caviar binge, work out any time in the privacy of your room with stainless-steel and walnut kettlebells, dumbbells, leather yoga blocks, mats and a Bosu ball. And after a big night out in “the city that never sleeps,” be rest assured that YOU will, as you slip into a FreshBedTM and enter a thermo-regulated microclimate scientifically proven to support deep and restorative sleep.

The Rooftop Garden, Pool & Dining Terrace at RH GH transports you to an architectural oasis of sculpted hedges and London plane trees where one can enjoy a morning breakfast, afternoon lunch or candlelit dinner during spring, summer, fall or winter with motorized and heated TUUCI® umbrellas. A 40-foot mosaic in- finity pool beckons with Italian-travertine daybeds above vein-matched travertine slab decking. Soak in the sunset over the city as you immerse yourself in a spa pool perched on the building’s edge. Ahhh... New York, New York!

Rada, a chic new restaurant in Myers Park, introduces Charlotte to an elevated dining experience with tapas, biodynamic wines, and shareable plates. Helmed by Chef Callan Buckles, formerly of acclaimed NYC spots like Claud, Momofuku, and The Four Horsemen, the menu is a bold fusion of global influences. Owner Eloy Roy envisioned this contemporary American eatery in the former Little Spoon space, creating a cozy yet upscale 50-seat spot with mint green walls and a minimalist aesthet-ic. From a $3 Gilda skewer to a $110 sirloin, Rada’s offerings reflect Buckles’ culinary pedigree and adventurous flair. With dishes like eggplant escabeche and seabass paired with txakolina wine, Rada aims to carve out a niche in Charlotte’s emerging shared-plates scene.Rada blends fine dining with approachability, focusing on flavors that challenge Charlotte’s palate while embracing its neighborhood vibe. Highlights include crispy roast chicken with vegetable farcis and Asian-inspired touches like fish sauce and shio koji. The bar program is equally compelling, featuring a gin martini made with anchovy oil and Basque pepper brine. Roy believes Rada will resonate deeply with diners, offering something fresh yet familiar. This new spot, opened on Selwyn Avenue, invites locals to indulge in innovative cuisine and discover what they’ve been craving all along.
