This landmark New York Hotel, located in the heart of the City, has been home to creative minds and distinguished guests for nearly a century.
HISTORY
The legendary Gramercy Park Hotel has always been, and still is, the place to be for actors, artists, writers, intellectuals and fashion designers. With a prime location adjacent to the Manhattan's only Private Park, Gramercy Park, this landmark NY Hotel has been a home to creative minds from around the world for nearly a century.
The origins of the 18-story Renaissance Revival Hotel can be traced to one of 66 swampy lots parceled out in the 1830s to draw potential residents "uptown."
Gramercy Park gets its name from the Dutch krom moerasje, which Eventually morphed into "Gramercy" and means "crooked little swamp".
But what was formerly a marshy expanse of land gave way to rows of charming townhouses, the neighborhood's namesake park, major arteries like Lexington Avenue, and of course, the Gramercy Park Hotel.
The stately New York Hotel, designed by Robert T. Lyons and constructed by famous developer brothers Bing and Bing, was built on the site where Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Edith Wharton was born and where flamboyant architect Stanford White had lived.
It opened its doors in 1925, and a year later, Humphrey Bogart was married on the Hotel's rooftop terrace. Not long after that, a young John F. Kennedy lived in the New York Hotel for several months and Babe Ruth became a regular at the New York Bar.
Later, big-name musicians began passing through the lobby or staying for months at a time, giving the New York Hotel its rock and roll edge. In the sixties, the Rolling Stones resided there after their first American tour, and Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Clash and Bob Marley were all known to spend time in the NYC Hotel.
In the seventies, Blondie's Debbie Harry and Christ Stein lived in room 501. And in the eighties, then up-and-comers U2 were long-term Guests.
For 8 decades, the New York Hotel remained much the same until art collector and real estate developer Aby Rosen took it over.
In 2006, he enlisted artist and Oscar-nominated film director Julian Schnabel and British architect John Pawson to renovate the space in a way that would maintain the NY Hotel's unique history while giving it bold, modern flourishes.
The renovation was extensive - the entire second floor of the lobby was ripped out to make way for 20-foot ceilings, and Schnabel designed or curated many of the furnishings, paintings and sculptures that fill the space today.
The Hotel is a modern take on a traditional grand New York Hotel, with its custom-designed, handcrafted furnishings and rotating collection of 20th century Artwork, including masterpieces from Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat.
Every room in this New York Hotel features unique Luxury Amenities — imported Italian linens, exquisite Artwork and luxurious beauty products.
