Originally built in 1928, this building was purchased in 1997 and 3 years were spent renovating it into a 200-room high-end boutique property. This elegant but unpretentious hotel is truly one of a kind, even for New York. From the wonderful private park within the walls of the hotel to the unique restaurant and bar, all of the public areas of the family-friendly hotel create a stunning yet serene atmosphere. Guests are welcomed in a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service. Additional facilities at this air-conditioned city hotel include a hotel safe, lift access, a newspaper stand and conference facilities. Room service and a laundry service are also provided, and Internet access is available for a fee. The parking fee is per car/per night (with no in/out privileges).
