Gramercy Park Hotel



World's Best Hotels & Resorts


Gramercy Park Hotel is a luxury hotel with 185 Rooms & Suites in New York City. This boutique hotel is Bohemia reinvented for the 21st century with an original combination of styles, furniture, art and the extraordinary use of color. The Gramercy Park Hotel's Haute Bohemian heritage has been honored and renewed in the transformation by Ian Schrager.


It is still the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City but better! It represents a sensuous vision of artful diversity. Bohemia reinvented for the 21st century with an original combination of styles, with great pieces of furniture and art and the extraordinary use of color.

It is a balancing act which only Ian Schrager could pull off, as well as a fresh approach which represents a new departure for him. It brings together a number of creative forces, not chosen for their compatibility, but for their shared commitment to the modern lifestyle.

This luxury Manhattan hotel has been created by Ian Schrager's long time partners, Michael Overington and Anda Andrei, with a little help from some of Ian's friends, including the painter Julian Schnabel.

The Gramercy Park Hotel's idiosyncratic, eclectic vision offers a perfect modern alternative to the institutional approach one now finds in even the most high-end boutique design hotels. As Morgans marked a paradigm shift in hotels twenty years ago and created a new industry, so the new Gramercy Park Hotel NYC will accomplish the same impact today. It will be the most spirited and charming hotel in New York, reflecting a fabled heritage and the lively, adventurous spirit of an emerging age.

185 Rooms, Suites, 6 Custom Gramercy Suites and Penthouse featuring one-of-a-kind furniture. Oversized rooms and suites with views of Gramercy Park, Lexington Avenue or Courtyard. Each room is unique with choice of King, Queen, and Double bedded rooms.

The bold, individualistic spirit of the public spaces is carried into the 185 spacious guest rooms and suites. Each is different with its own unique layout, vivid Renaissance color palette inspired by Raphael and distinctive collection of art and objects. Imported hand tufted rugs with deep rose velvet drapery on custom bronze rods create a beautiful palette with the mahogany window enclosures and wooden blinds. Curated photographs and unique pieces of furniture inspired by a myriad of cultures and styles are juxtaposed with original creations by Julian Schnabel and Maarten Baas.

A great hotel is not just a building, its an individual, with personality, spirit and authenticity.
