Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Located on Manhattan’s historic Club Row between Fifth and Sixth avenues, this handsome red-brick hotel was formerly a private club and sanctuary for New York’s power brokers. Today, it offers a discreet haven for executives, modern power players, and entertainment figures. A black-and-white abstract painting by New York artist Giglio—a friend of the owner—and a lipstick-red table topped with art books highlight the diminutive lobby.
Amenity highlights: The interior was designed by Jeffrey Bilhuber, whose clients include Vogue editor Anna Wintour, David Bowie, and Michael Douglas. Traditional materials such as bronze, silvered mica, cork, and limestone blend with modern design in a decor that Bilhuber refers to as New American Classicism. The hotel’s acclaimed restaurant, DB Bistro Moderne, is the creation of star chef Daniel Boulud.
Insider tip: Magnificent Radio City Music Hall, 6 blocks from the hotel, offers the Radio City Stage Tour, a one-hour backstage excursion. Tour highlights include the Great Stage and its hydraulic system, in operation since the 1930s; the lavish private suite, with 12-foot-high gold-leaf ceilings; and the grand Wurlitzer organ. Visitors also meet one of the Radio City Rockettes.
