Occupying the eastern length of the landmark Brutalist building and accessed via the hotel’s red pill exterior lift, Sweetie’s sumptuous interiors, designed by long-time Standard collaborator Shawn Hausman, evoke an early 1970s Hollywood opulence. Ochre velvet sofas, ruched leather banquettes, mirrored tables, and a six-foot antique phallic sculpture set the tone for this intimate new destination: new wave glamour meets glorious misbehaviour.
