“This iconic 5 star hotel boasts a legacy of unmatched sophistication and privacy in the heart of Manhattan's Upper East Side. Art Deco elegance with a modern flair - reminiscent of New York's golden era. Highlights include the storied Bemelmans Bar & Café Carlyle. Classic New York luxury in spades.”

Hotel review

There is no hotel like The Carlyle. One of New York's most legendary addresses since 1930, where old-world glamour meets absolute discretion. The documentary ‘Only At The Carlyle’ features George Clooney, Jeff Goldblum, Sofia Coppola, and Naomi Campbell, capturing the total allure of this hotel. Plush textures, sculptural stone, and gleaming dark surfaces evoke the city's glamour without imitation. Staff are family, warmly guiding you through their world of rhythm and ritual. Pets receive branded beds and bowls.

Spa by Valmont offers world-class Swiss skincare, including signature "butterfly" face massages. A major refresh has introduced room designs with custom Central Park wallpaper and pre-war finishes. Heavenly. And the Presidential Suite, occupying the entire 26th floor, features wraparound views, three bedrooms and a piano, carrying the quiet intrigue of a hotel long favoured by history’s most fascinating figures.

At Dowling's, seasonal tableside classics become theatre: cognac-lit Steak Diane, rum-kissed Bananas Foster, Dover sole deboned before you. Bemelmans Bar, with its signature Ludwig Bemelmans murals and nightly jazz, is unparalleled. Everybody should don their finery and visit once. Otherwise try the intimate and dazzling Gallery for afternoon tea.
