Freehold

Meet Freehold, a Brooklyn-born hospitality concept that blends the stylish lobby ambiance and trendy eateries you'd expect to find in a hip hotel but doesn't have any rooms. To think that during all those years, those who hung out in the communal rooms of the Ace and Standard hotels without being guests could have been hanging out at the Freehold instead.

The concept here is not to provide overnight lodging, but rather to provide day-to-night accommodations where people may have business meetings, join friends for a meal, or congregate for a drink and DJ-spun tunes—and then go home to their own beds. The spacious facilities at Freehold are evocative of a coworking space, but unlike those, you won't have to pay a membership fee to send emails from one of their nice sofa arrangements or built-in nooks. Outside, there's even more space in the 4,000-square-foot courtyard, which has a pool deck (no pool), covered seating, and a private cabana—because of Miami.

Do you need to refuel? Freehold offers several choices. There's a front desk, although it's more of a bar than a check-in desk and a café where you can buy Counter Culture coffee and other pastries. The Pizza Shop serves NY-style slices and crispy, thin pies for something more substantial. The menu is overseen by Anthony Falco of Roberta's, so you know it's fantastic. Programming is in the works, and it will feature live music performances, happy hour, and comedy acts, among other things.
