9 Best Hipster Hotels

The hipster subculture began to develop in the United States in the 40s of the last century. This is a special chic, combining refined luxury with deliberate negligence, rejecting the desire for modern fashion and making extensive use of vintage antiquity. To cater to the tastes of hipsters, themed hotels with special interior design have appeared in different cities of the world, where natural finishing materials are used, and gifts of nature and objects of bygone eras are used as decorative elements. Let's talk about 9 of the best of them.

The Urban Cowboy, New York

A striking example of a modern hipster-style hotel in New York, which opened in April 2014. According to the owner's plan, a kind of island of cowboy life appeared in the center of the Brooklyn region, transferring its inhabitants to the times of the Wild West. Outwardly, a modest building, sheathed in wood, with a simple primitive door at the entrance, with a simple chimney and piles of firewood in the yard, it is very reminiscent of a cowboy's dwelling from a Wayne movie. But the interiors of the 5 rooms amaze with their specific beauty and hipster style.

National Indian motifs and the avant-gardism of modern America intertwined in their decoration. Walls and ceilings are decorated with natural stones, bricks and wood. Separate sections of the masonry are artificially aged to emphasize the archaism of the interior. The combination of white pine, walnut and ebony wood creates a unique beauty and style, warm coziness and comfort.

Armchairs of an outdated design are adjacent to modern plastic stools; a two-chamber refrigerator in the kitchen – with expensive antique coffee grinders and teapots. Wall panels and rugs depicting an Indian leader, an iron potbelly stove, original chandeliers decorated with deer antlers – all this is extremely interesting and elegant.

The coffee table is made in the form of a tightly knit cowboy chest, a lot of small household items add nostalgic notes and indescribable charm to each room of one of the best hipster hotels in New York. People of art are happy to settle here: musicians, poets, artists and ordinary hipsters.
