Roxy Hotel in New York: A Tribeca Address With 1920s Cinema Soul

A Tribeca Address with Showbiz DNA

The Roxy Hotel is located at 2 6th Avenue,New York, NY 10013, placing it inside the historic Tribeca district — the so-called "Triangle Below Canal" neighborhood in lower Manhattan. The address sets the tone for a property whose name itself is a tribute to the city’s entertainment past, evoking both a 1920s movie theater and a legendary 1990s dance club scene.

From Tribeca Pioneer to The Roxy

The property was built in May 2000 as one of the first major hotels in Manhattan’s Tribeca district, an area known more for cobblestones and cast-iron warehouses than hotel lobbies at the time. It was created by developer Leonard Stern. In 2015, the hotel took on a new name, The Roxy Hotel New York, paying homage to its artistic origins and entertaining history. Designer Craig Robinson later reimagined the guest rooms and uniforms, giving a wink to the past in a way the hotel describes as modern and uniquely Roxy.

Rooms Designed for Downtown Living

The Roxy’s guest rooms are framed as a counterpoint to a city that pushes travelers out of their comfort zone. Instead of leaning into that energy, the rooms aim to feel familiar: a place where the bed and pillows become the anchor after a day of exploring a different side of New York.

Dining, Nightlife and a Cinema Under One Roof

The hotel runs a full slate of food, drink and entertainment venues rather than a single lobby bar. The lineup includes Roxy Bar, The Django, Roxy Cinema, New York, Roxy Café, The Oyster Bar at Roxy Hotel, Weekend Brunch, and Paul’s Cocktail Lounge. The Django, once known as The Church Lounge, provides a variety of dining options and morphs into a favorite New York nightspot after dark, hosting live performances.

Roxy Cinema: An Old-School Theatrical Treat

Roxy Cinema is presented as an old-school, intimate theatre featuring new, independent and foreign films, along with standard concessions. Recent and current screenings highlighted on the cinema’s page have included the sci-fi event Disclosure Day and the relationship drama The Invite.

Practical Considerations

The Roxy Hotel New York has hosted corporate events, social gatherings, wedding receptions, meetings and other event types through its inquiry channel, and inquiries are typically followed up within 24 to 48 hours. Some on-site details — including dining venues, special offers and cinema programming — can change over time, so it is worth confirming current schedules before planning a visit.
