“Quirky and unusual hotel in Long Island city styled as industrial-chic; a modern renovation of a paper factory. The spacious rooms pay homage to the historic industrial architecture whilst featuring upscale and antique furnishings. Mundo serves exotic food, and all communal areas are characterful.”

The Paper Factory: Review
This 123-room hotel in Long Island City, Queens, draws its name from its previous life as a paper factory. Like the Wythe Hotel in Brooklyn (in a former sugar-barrel factory) and Refinery Hotel in Manhattan (in a former hat factory), the property recalls its industrial past, in this case with reclaimed wood ceilings, bare cement floors and furnishings like floor lamps constructed from plumbing pipes. The Paper Factory, though, fusses so much with its décor, adding kitschy items like red British phone booths to the lobby and 1950s-style teal-green mini-fridges to the guest rooms, that its stylishness can sometimes feel forced.
