EDITORIAL REVIEW
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 bold, individualistic spirit of the public spaces at the Gramercy Park Hotel is carried on into the 185 guest rooms and suites here in Manhattan. They are generously scaled and beautifully appointed. 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.
The Private Roof Club and Landscaped Garden is not merely a bar on the roof. It is a new genre of entertainment; akin to a salon or drawing room providing the comfort, privacy and intimacy of home. Available to guests of the hotel and members, it offers a more personal and intimate version of the lobby as a new kind of gathering place as introduced by Ian Schrager at the Royalton Hotel in 1988.
This original concept was inspired by the legendary roof top entertaining at the turn of the century in New York City at such places as Ziegfeld’s Roof Club at the new Amsterdam Theater, Stanford White’s rooftop at the original Madison Square Garden, the Astor Hotel in Times Square, and Conde Nast’s famous parties in his rooftop penthouse. It was also influenced by the intellectual and social interactions you would find in Viennese coffee houses as well as the discretion and service of private gentlemen’s clubs in London.
