Temple Court & Augustine
The Beekman Hotel + Chef Tom Colicchio + Keith McNally

Considered one of the first skyscrapers built in Manhattan, the building features an open atrium in the center with a pyramidal skylight at the top. Keeping the Victorian aesthetic of the original tower, Colicchio Consulting worked on arranging two concepts that allowed the locals and guests of the hotel to feel like they were transported back in time. Augustine by Keith McNally and Temple Court by Chef Tom Colicchio bring one-of-a-kind dining experiences to the luxurious hotel with seasonal dishes inspired by old classics.
