The former NYLO hotel on Preston Road is set to reopen as The Clara Hotel in mid-2026, according to a news release from investment firm NewcrestImage.

NewcrestImage bought the property, which will maintain its affiliation with Hilton’s Tapestry Collection, in August 2025.

The hotel has been renovated with a focus on natural materials and soft colors designed to create “a sense of ease,” according to the release.

What else?

Loft, the hotel’s restaurant, will be replaced by a new restaurant called Field & Vine.

The hotel’s makeover will also add a bar called The Library, which will operate as a lounge during the day and a reservation-only speakeasy on Thursday-Saturday nights, per the release.
