Room

The rooms feel homely and inviting; like stepping into the apartment of a wealthy New York relative. There are dark oak floors, lush fabrics in bright jewel tones and quirky designs details. The beds have grand leather headboards and luxurious sateen Sferra linens. Each room is decorated with individual antique pieces and unique contemporary art which lends the space real charm, while the light walls help to keep the room feeling bright and modern.

Tip Choose a room on one of the higher floors to enjoy beautiful sunlight when you step out onto the atrium balcony each morning; the skylight feels more open which each rising floor.

Bathroom

Bathrooms feel classic and charming, outfitted in marble and white tiles. Soft, flattering lighting feels calm and peaceful. All rooms have spacious walk-in showers, and the larger suites offer beautiful stand-alone bathtubs. The pretty amenities are by local perfumery D.S. & Durga; they smell gorgeous.

Lobby

Grand yet warm and welcoming, the large open lobby is a study in rustic elegance. As you step onto the beautifully tiled floor, you are soon enveloped by a divine smokey fragrance; instant luxury. Persian rugs, contemporary art, and lush velvet seating create a space which feels opulent yet inviting. Like the grand receiving room of a great house, the space feels calm and steeped in history; a peaceful change of scene from the busy streets outside.

Spa

There is no spa, but the concierge is happy to arrange in-room spa services; the menu includes hair, massage, facial and nail services.

Gym

A dual level fitness center has wood paneled walls and a spiral staircase which help the space to feel as elegant as the rest of the hotel. The rooms are well equipped and feature state of the art Peloton studio spin bikes.

Dining

You are spoilt for choice here with two excellent restaurants on site. Keith McNally’s Augustine offers elevated French bistro standards in an elegant space while Tom Colicchio’s Temple Court reinvents classic dishes with seasonal produce.

Drinking

The Bar Room sits in the heart of this glorious building, underneath the beautiful Victorian-era atrium which winds up 10 floors to a skylight. The designers paid homage to the literary history of the building with a space that feels like a warm library; complete with plush velvet seating, dark wood paneling and glass cabinets filled with books and other curiosities. This is the perfect spot to linger over a delicious cocktail and soak up some Old New York charm.

You Should Know Both options are luxurious; which means both options come with a hefty price tag.
