Roll-A-Cover is thrilled to announce that they have won a Regional Chrysalis Award in the Commercial Remodeling Category for their innovative retractable enclosure at the iconic W Hotel Union Square in New York City.
This award-winning project redefined the hotel’s rooftop experience by turning a fully outdoor space into a luxurious, all-season venue. The hotel aimed to maximize both guest comfort and revenue potential without compromising the skyline views and open-air ambiance that make rooftop spaces so special in NYC.
A Vision Transformed
The W Hotel team dreamed of a sleek, modern retractable roof that would:
- Extend rooftop usability year-round
- Blend seamlessly with the hotel’s existing design
- Offer easy operation depending on the weather
Roll-A-Cover delivered just that. Their system features a lightweight aluminum framework and transparent panels, which work together to provide comfort and flexibility in any season.
Turning Challenges into Innovation
Transforming a rooftop in the heart of Manhattan is no small feat. They overcame:
- Structural constraints with lightweight yet durable framing
- Urban installation logistics through phased construction and pre-fabrication
- Strict NYC code compliance with collaborative permitting and safety planning
Therefore, the result is a rooftop space that not only meets but exceeds expectations. This elevates the W Hotel’s brand and bottom line.
A New Standard in Hospitality Design
Since installation, the hotel has seen increased bookings, rave guest reviews, and smoother operational efficiency. Additionally, whether for upscale events or casual drinks, guests can now enjoy the rooftop rain or shine.
Roll-A-Cover is honored to receive the Chrysalis Award and proud to help redefine what’s possible for commercial rooftops in urban environments.
