Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: This historic hotel was completely reborn in 2006 under the direction of Ian Schrager, with creative contributions by Julien Schnabel and other renowned artists. The lobby is a rhapsody of "Haute Bohemian" chic and Renaissance opulence: massive contemporary paintings, a "sawtooth"-sculpture lamp, ruby-velvet curtains, a glorious Venetian chandelier, and Aubusson rugs. The tantalizing aroma from a 10-foot woodburning fireplace mingles with the scent of custom candles.
Amenity highlights: With a soaring ceiling, seductive lighting, museum-caliber art, and woodburning fireplace, the Rose Bar is a gorgeous space to see and be seen. A red pool table with hand-burned edges stands beneath an Andy Warhol artwork. The intimate Jade Bar is equally alluring, with green-velvet seating and art by Basquiat and Schnabel. The lushly landscaped Roof Club and Garden offers dazzling views of Manhattan landmarks.
Guests enjoy access to the private Gramercy Park across the street.
Insider tip: Handsome historic buildings line the perimeter of Gramercy Park, across from the hotel. Nineteenth-century Shakespearean actor Edwin Booth (brother of Lincoln's assassin) bought the brownstone at 16 Gramercy Park South to house The Players, a club for actors, writers, artists, and their wealthy patrons. Booth had an apartment on the third floor, where he died in 1893 during a violent thunderstorm. A statue of the actor as Hamlet stands in Gramercy Park.
