In theater and music, the English come to New York in droves. But this season London is on our doorstep with Sunday roasts, afternoon tea and lemon posset. The central kitchen, on the ground floor, preserves an original arched brick structure called the carriage house. The blue finish on the ovens inspired the name of the hotel’s signature restaurant: Klein’s, for the French painter Yves Klein, who used bright blue with abandon. (The Hoxton team was not aware that for some New Yorkers, the name might evoke memories of discount designer clothing.)
