Atop the historic mansard roof of restored oxidized copper is the pinnacle of the re-inaugurated Knickerbocker Hotel experience. The rooftop, St. Cloud, is an indoor/outdoor space designed for an experience beyond compare. On the outside terrace, three VIP Skypods are nestled among the historic mansard roof allowing guests to perch in the cinematic glow of Times Square while gazing out at the vertical gardens that line the perimeter of the outdoor terrace.

The interior perimeter envelope is conceived as a carved volume of charcoal slate, presenting itself like a glowing ember reflecting off the Times Square skyline. Open bar seating areas mix with private lounge rooms and a dance floor of wood dipped in a silver metallic finish. The interior rooftop space presents a stage where guests can dazzle, flirt, and socialize amongst an effervescent backdrop.
