Dream Downtown Hotel, New York- In the 1960s Albert C. Ledner designed a pair of buildings in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood for the National Maritime Union, both punctuated appropriately by porthole-shaped windows. Dream Downtown Hotel is the second of the pair to be converted into a hotel—the Maritime Hotel opened about ten years ago—occupying the dramatically sloped piece on West 17th Street, now covered in a stainless steel skin, and a smaller volume on West 16th Street. Handel Architects found inspiration in the round windows and gave Dream Downtown some contemporary flair, inside and out.
