The Trump Soho: A Chic NYC Oasis for Weddings, Spa Days and Staycations

Merci New York at the Trump Soho
 As I am sure you guys noticed from this morning's real wedding post, The Trump Soho is a picture perfect location for an intimate New York City penthouse wedding... But did you wonder what lies beyond those sky-high patios?  I may have {not so sneakily} left that out, specifically for this post. ;)
Earlier this year, I had the chance to stay at the Trump Soho for a media event, and I honestly could not wait to share all the nooks, crannies and lush details with you.  This place is a beyond chic must-see for any city girl!
So pull up a chair, check out the eye candy by Brett Matthews Photography and get ready to be inspired.  If you are looking for a downtown wedding location, a hotel to host your out of town guests, or even just a little city staycation of your own... the Trump Soho might just be your jackpot.

One of the most remarkable event spaces at the Trump Soho is the SoHi.  Soaring 46 stories above New York's majestic skyline, the glass-enclosed SoHi is the an uber-chic venue for a true New York wedding {and believe me, that's an understatement}. The 13-foot floor-to-ceiling windows host an awe-inspiring view of NYC... the East River bridges, downtown Manhattan, and spectacular sunsets over the Hudson River are all easy to enjoy with a birds' eye view. The versatile room accommodates up to 80 people for intimate weddings or 150 for receptions.

When I visited the SoHi, the hosted us for a cocktail and canapes party {yes please!} and I could totally see it hosting special celebrations such as hallmark birthdays and anniversary parties as well... {Check out the above photo for inspiration... pretty gorg, no?!}.
However, if you are having a grander affair,  Trump Soho also has larger spaces to suit your fancy.  There's also the 3,894 square foot SoHo Ballroom, 2,224 square foot Hudson Square, and 1,026 square foot Spring Terrace, which is covered for rain or cooler weather.

 Want another reason to book your wedding at the Trump Soho?  Well, you can always think about your guests {or your bridal party prep}!  
The hotel’s 10 two-bedroom penthouse suites command expansive city views. Graciously proportioned with thoughtful layouts, the suites look out to the Hudson River, midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building, Freedom Tower, downtown or the East River bridges. Open floor plans enhance the spaciousness and the Fendi Casa furnishings do not look anything like hotel decor.
One of my favorite Trump suites actually had an amazing pool table surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows.  Want to book it for your groom and guys?  MAJOR hint: Call ahead - apparently a very VIP celebrity has been making it his "home away from home" for his long-term stays in NYC.

 Another awesome thing about Trump Soho is their spa.  And believe me, this blogger and stylist loves her spas!
Among an array of other awesome treatments, the Spa is home to New York City’s first and only luxury Hammam, available for private and couples treatments. If you haven't had a Hammam, don't do as I did... Come prepared and understand the process!  You're going to come out completely refreshed, but read up on the traditions behind the treatments.  It's an amazing {bubbly and drenching} experience for sure.
Aside from Hammam, the bi-level spa features treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor relaxation lounges.  The chic décor was personally designed by Ivanka Trump and inspired by her travels to Turkey.
Famed Kate Somerville facial treatments are exclusively available at The Spa, such as the Dermal Quench, which calms and clarifies a bride’s skin before her big day.  Take my word for it: it's divine!
  Merci New York at the Trump Soho
If I haven't convinced you to nestle into the Trump Soho yet, here's a {self-indulgent} little tip.  If you are a couple hunting for NYC wedding accommodations, secure your room block, then book a Spa Suite...  You'll get all the amazing perks mentioned above, plus your own private city oasis.
The Spa Suite collection includes three luxury suites that offer the ultimate pampering experience {so awesome for that post-wedding chill-out}. Two of the suites feature private treatment rooms, and one even includes a private sauna for two {love that!}... 
Want more reasons to check in? {I'll give you five}. All suites feature bathrooms with 32-inch deep Jacuzzi tubs, hydrotherapy jets in over sized showers, a stocked mini bar with healthy snack options, an in-room yoga mat, and a private entrance to the 11,000-sq-ft spa. Oh yes... that also includes $200 spa credit per night.  Le sigh, indeed.
