Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: A timeless classic, The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel, has been called home by leaders in world affairs, business, society, entertainment, and the arts since its debut in 1930. Museum-caliber artworks, including graceful statuary and a magnificent 1790 tapestry, grace the elegant and serene public spaces. Two murals by 17th-century painter Jan Weenix—and previously owned by William Randolph Hearst—flank the marble fireplace just off the reception area.
Amenity highlights: Café Carlyle, Manhattan’s ultimate supper club, presents talents such as Elaine Stritch, Eartha Kitt, and Woody Allen, who jams with a New Orleans jazz band. Sophisticated style meets irresistible charm at Bemelmans Bar, one of the city’s most famous watering holes. Whimsical murals by artist Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the beloved Madeline books, depict Central Park scenes—including a cameo appearance by Madeline and her friends.
Insider tip: Café Carlyle hosts a wonderful array of world-class talent. Shows are often sold out. To ensure seating, guests should make show reservations prior to arrival.
