Fodor's Review:
The newly renovated Gramercy Park Hotel is set to eclipse its former prime as a rock-star hideaway. Ian Schrager has reinvented the look-and-feel of the hotel by collaborating with famed artist Julian Schnabel. Embracing a spirit of High Bohemia, the property has a rock-and-roll baroque feel. Works by Cy Twombley, Andy Warhol, and Jean-Michel Basquiat are complemented by opulent velvets and deep, rich colors. The stunning fireplace in the lobby makes it a place where you want to linger. The rooms have the same eclectic, stylish appearance. Although not the most spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, they certainly have a way of making you feel very hip as will the key to the ultraexclusive Gramercy Park that's available to all guests.

Not Worth The $$ for this Tiny Room
Posted by dicooley from Washington, DC on 9/7/08
I believe that when you pay $800/night you should get great value, which this hotel failed to deliver. We were upgraded on arrival from a deluxe loft ($800/nt) to a corner 1 bdrm (normally $1200/nt), had we been paying $1200 for the room we got we would have left. The rooms are tiny and dark. I understand that the darkness is part of the whole feel of the place and I'm sure there are many people who would think it was cool, but for us it didn't hit the right note. The bathroom is so small that the sink cannot fit inside it and is in the room instead. For another 100-200/nt you can get a whopping 700 sq ft at trump intl (where we usually stay) or about 600 sq ft at tribeca grand (another favorite). While the hotel has a nice, funky vibe it struck me as trying a little too hard: the hallways were so dark it was absurd. Service was mostly good but spotty at times. The private rooftop bar is fantastic and the best part of the hotel. The gym is nice though a little small. The bathroom amenities were very nice and unique.
