PB hotel design editorial

Crowned by a patinated copper dome visible from well into Central Park, the thirty-five-floor Art Deco tower at 35 East 76th Street has anchored the Upper East Side skyline since Bien & Prince completed it in 1930. The Carlyle, as it became, carried a residential grandeur from the outset — its stepped limestone massing and intricate terracotta ornamental banding placing it closer to a grand Manhattan apartment building than a conventional hotel. Successive waves of renovation have preserved that register: the 190 rooms and suites carry walls painted in deep olive and warm taupe, upholstered headboards in pale linen set against chocolate-stained walnut millwork, and Greek key-patterned carpets in navy that ground the whole composition in a quietly patrician vocabulary. The public spaces hold the building's real character. Bemelmans Bar, named for Ludwig Bemelmans who painted its wraparound Central Park murals in 1947 in exchange for a year's lodging, survives with its gold-leaf ceiling and lacquered tabletops intact — one of the few mid-century hotel interiors in New York that has never been overtaken by renovation instinct. The restaurant, visible in the images with its densely hung salon-style picture walls, Baccarat-style crystal chandelier, and cognac leather banquettes, moves in a different register — more European grand café than Manhattan power room. Together the two spaces demonstrate what The Carlyle has always understood: that atmosphere accumulated over decades is harder to design than anything conceived from scratch.

The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel Reviews

160 reviews

"Easily one of my favorite hotels. The staff is superb. The onsite restaurant and bar are exceptional. The room, while a bit small for the big price tag was comfortable and hit the right NYC flavor. Location isn't close to some of the better restaurants but the neighborhood is super walkable and a great spot to enjoy. All in all, we can't wait to go back."

"This was our first stay at The Carlyle and I think we have found our new NYC hotel. Service was top notch across the board, from room service breakfast, housekeeping that did a great job keeping the room spotless but were never seen and other staff in the lobby proactively showing us around the hotel. We had drinks at Bemelman's Bar 3 times during our stay, the drinks and entertainment were exceptional, and the Carlye does a great job ensuring tables are ready with little or no wait for guests. I know this is difficult at such a popular bar (there was often a line of non guests waiting) and they may be leaving a few dollars on the table keeping tables open for guests but that's how you instill loyalty. We plan to stay at the Carlyle again on our next trip to NYC."

"We went as a couple for a treat. It feels like a step back in time. The room was very spacious for New York and the service was very gracious. We had several meals there, one of the best breakfasts we have had. We made a trip to the famed Bemelman's bar and the murals were worth the visit. Elevators are slow and dated which just took a bit of edge off the feel but if you want to experience a sort of byone New York in the heart of luxurious shopping this is the place to go."
