“A grand historic hotel set on 5th Avenue opposite Central Park. Elegant traditional rooms and suites feature decorative mouldings, fireplaces, sweeping vistas and spacious marble bathrooms. Playing host to the iconic lobby restaurant Harry Cipriani, this is a standout stay.”

Hotel review

Boasting a coveted upscale Fifth Avenue address by Central Park, you know you're staying somewhere special the moment you walk into the lobby and clock its splendid Renaissance-style frescoes, as the white-gloved lift attendants whisk you to your room in creaky walnut-lined lifts. Opening in 1927, its history and traditional character is everywhere. The rooms and suites all have old style decor with high ceilings, decorative mouldings, fireplaces (non-operational) antique furniture, traditional artworks and marble bathrooms. Some enjoy impressive views of Fifth Avenue and Central Park, others the interior courtyard. The restaurant, the Harry Cipriani, is modelled after the orginial Harry's Bar in Venice, and its white-jacketed and bow-tied waiters, elegantly serve Italian classics. There is also a gym, barbers and hair salon.
