The Carlyle, New York, Central Park, Luxury hotel

The timeless institution on Madison Avenue, the service and quality offered by The Carlyle just gets better and better. Hospitality here has reached such heights that some guests have actually moved in!

A legend in New York since 1930, The Carlyle is a landmark of the Upper East Side. Spectacular views over Central Park and attention to every service detail have made it a Manhattan institution for over seventy-five years and it is a quintessential New York hotel as much for its distinguished guests - home to princes, presidents and new yorkers alike - as for its timeless style and old-world charm.

At 76th Street, The Carlyle is right in the heart of gallery-land - the Whitney Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Guggenheim - and the world’s foremost designer boutiques surround in dangerous fashion. Only steps away is the oasis of Central Park.

Every one of the one hundred-and-eighty guestrooms are individually decorated, just like a private home. Original Audubon prints adorn the walls, antique chairs rest in the boudoirs, exquisite rugs, fabrics and linens make every room and suite feel like an individual work of art. Full of colour and character, these classic rooms are also equipped with state-of-the-art amenities - some have grand pianos, terraces and spectacular views over Central Park and the city skyline.

The fabric which gives The Carlyle its greatness, however is its impeccable personal service and an unfaltering dedication to uncompromising quality.

The Dining Room is the Carlyle’s acclaimed restaurant, buzzing with activity from morning ‘til night, Bemelman’s famous bar, decorated with his whimsical murals, is the place for fabulous cocktails and delicious piano music and the Cafe Carlyle - home to legendary Bobby Short for over thirty-five years - is intimate and urbane where a star-studded line-up still entertains guests with songs of Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and, or course, Gershwin. The Carlyle is the wonderful epitome of New York!
