About the hotel
Developed by Peter Kalikow and designed by Eli Attia, the tower opened in 1992 at 55 Church Street, across from the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan; Singapore's City Developments bought it in 1994. Badly damaged in the September 11 attacks, it was closed for over 18 months and reopened in 2003. Long run as the Millennium Hilton, it became Millennium Downtown New York in 2022 and, after a renovation of its 569 rooms, reopened as M Social Hotel New York Downtown in October 2025.
