The 168 rooms will be made in Krakow, Poland and arrive at the site complete with beds, sheets, pillows, flooring and even toiletries. The hotel's roof and rooftop bar are also expected to be produced using modular construction, whereas public areas such as the restaurant and lobby are expected to be built using traditional methods.
It is expected that construction of the hotel on Sixth Avenue and West 29th Street in Manhattan will take 90 days to complete, with each storey consisting of eight modules
Danny Forster commented: "This is the moment where modular construction takes centre stage. This hotel takes every advantage of off-site manufacturing, as you might expect. But it does so in a way that defies expectation.
