Centrally located north of Madison Square Park, this is a restored Beaux-Arts gem. It updates the European grand-hotel concept with 168 rooms and suites, all individually furnished. Travelers will find quiet refuge away from the throngs of the city. Elegance prevails throughout: velvet and damask, king-size beds appointed with custom linens, many baths featuring claw-foot tubs, French mahogany writing desks to ease any workload, handmade Heriz rugs gracing the maple floors, and original artwork adorning the walls.
