Respectfully restored, this historic landmark building radiates sophistication with its nine-storey atrium, Victorian wrought-iron railings and decadent decor. Rooms are decked out in vintage furniture, Persian rugs and aged oak floors, as well as all the modern amenities you’d expect – free Wi-Fi, state-of-the-art Revo radios and smart TVs, to name a few. For added luxuriance, we recommend upgrading to one of the suites with added living and dining areas.

The property’s facilities include a bi-level fitness centre with strength training equipment, cardio machines and Peleton spin bikes. There’s also a buzzing bar and two excellent restaurants popular with New York locals. The menu at Temple Court, headed by acclaimed restaurateur Tom Colicchio, features an array of classic American dishes, whilst Augustine has a more laidback feel with a lighter, French-inspired menu. The Bar Room is an inviting space with its plush lounge seating and old New York vibe.
