Meet the NI man managing a top New York hotel: ‘I came for a weekend, then didn’t want to be anywhere else’
The Gansevoort, one of New York’s leading five-star hotels, is managed by Derry-born Anton Moore and perfectly captures the Meatpacking District’s trendy atmosphere
Anton Moore, general manager of the Gansevoort
Overlooking the entrance of the Gansevoort, the Meatpacking District’s leading hotel, is a billboard of Irish actor Nicola Coughlan, beautifully clad in Regency attire and staring into the eyes of her beau from Netflix’s smash hit series Bridgerton. However, European audiences know that the actor’s breakthrough role arrived years earlier in the Bafta-winning comedy Derry Girls.
Fittingly, Nicola isn’t Gansevoort’s only connection to the Maiden City. Anton Moore, born in Derry in 1975, is the current general manager here — a coveted role where he oversees 270 staff members and welcomes thousands of guests annually.
