Hotel Tesla

Hotel Tesla is designed for travelers seeking a memorable hotel experience in NYC. The boutique concept accommodation has a vibrant atmosphere inspired by the esteemed and eccentric inventor, Nikola Tesla.

Hotel Tesla not only incorporates sleek and industrial design elements to channel Tesla’s legacy, but also utilizes cutting-edge technology to enhance every stay and further the inventor’s vision of a connected and efficient world.

Inspired by Tesla’s own striking style and personality, his namesake luxury hotel has an industrial yet sophisticated aesthetic. The logomark is a prominent letter T inspired by early Tesla patent sketches. Additionally, the color palette of black, white, and copper reflects the electrical and mechanical nature of Tesla’s inventions while complementing architectural details of the hotel’s Manhattan location.

Leveraging cloud technology, the Hotel Tesla app allows guests to use their phone as their room key. A wireless charger in each room is also a nod to Tesla's desire for an easily connected world.

The hotel's landing page references the inventor's contribution to electricity, while also taking cues from a key design feature of the hotel lobby.

The Lab

The hotel bar, which is separately branded as The Lab, sports a neon sign and cocktail napkins featuring real Tesla patents. Small details like a branded orange peel complete the luxurious yet playful atmosphere found throughout the entire hotel.
