Elegant opulence
The New York Palace hotel is enviably located right on Madison Avenue in the heart of Upper Midtown, this luxury hotel is well placed for easy access to all the sights of New York, from the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) to the green oasis of Central Park. St Patrick’s Cathedral, the Rockefeller Center and world class shopping on Fifth Avenue are also conveniently close by.
From the grand exterior to the opulent lobby, the New York Palace has opulent architectural features and lavish furnishings to make you gasp at every turn. Entering the courtyard through the ornate gates of this former Villard Mansion, the New York Palace is rich in history and opulence. Now owned by the Sultan of Brunei, it is certainly worthy of its ‘palace’ title. This grand luxury hotel of note stands above the rest with its 55-storey high tower which incorporates 813 guest rooms and 86 lavish suites including the lavish Triplex suites with outdoor terrace space
All the rooms at the New York Palace are beautifully furnished with space to relax and an additional work desk area. Internet service, premium TV channels, a safe and an iron meet practical needs while the luxury marble bathrooms are designed to pamper and relax.
A state of the art business center and meeting rooms, banqueting and conference space are available at this luxury hotel’s most central location. The spa and fitness center overlooks St Patrick’s Cathedral and covers a massive 7000 square feet. The restaurants also live up to the high standards set, with Christopher Lee’s two Michelin starred ‘Gilt’ Restaurant heading the bill. The Istana offers more informal fare at the American Brasserie and the newly opened outdoor lounge offers Pimm’s, cocktails and fine bar food beneath the stars. At the New York Palace even the humble french fries are dressed with shavings of truffle and the burger is topped with aged cheddar, home-made pickles and cured bacon.
Listed by Condé Nast on their 2008 Gold List and named ‘One of the World’s Best Places to Stay’ this is one of the most exclusive luxury hotels in New York. Now part of the Dorchester Collection, the service and accommodation all live up to the high standards set by this world acclaimed hotel group.
