When the appropriately named Panorama Room opens its doors later this month, on the 18th floor of the first and only hotel on Roosevelt Island, it will offer a new way to see New York City.
. Situated among the low-rise buildings of the new Cornell Tech campus, the much taller, sleek white sustainable building by Scandinavian architects Snøhetta and New York’s Stonehill Taylor affords 360-degree unobstructed views of Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, with the lush green tip of Roosevelt Island in the foreground and the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge looming on one side.
“When we came out to visit for the first time and we stood on this half-built building, we were just captivated by this perspective of New York City that we had never seen before,” says Abrous. “Being born and raised in New York, being very familiar with the city, and having that feeling of something that was unprecedented—it was a moment that we had where we knew we needed to build something really special here.
Rose and Abrous enlisted two friends—Anna Furney, who runs the Venus Over Manhattan gallery in NYC and designer/creative director Darren Romanelli, who is based in L.A.—to curate the restaurant’s art collection. There are pieces including a painting by Spencer Lewis from a series he has been working on for nearly a decade but has rarely shown; Norwegian artist Ida Eklbad’s textural and brightly coloredand a sculptural piece custom-made for the space by Brian Belott.
