Hotel Location: near center

Located in the heart of New York's most fashionable and delightful neighborhoods, this hotel has served an international clientele since more than 75 years ago. It is an oasis of quiet dignity in the heart of Manhattan and is convenient to all the midtown and downtown locations.
The Gramercy Park Hotel has a Haute Bohemian heritage. 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.
Traditional style hotel.
The bold, individualistic spirit of the public spaces at the Gramercy Park Hotel is carried on into the guest rooms and luxury 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.
The hotel has a restaurant and two bars. A new Italian restaurant, "Maialino", will be opened in November 2009. It will be located on the first floor of the hotel and will capture the warmth and comfort of a traditional Roman trattoria, re-imagined for its contemporary setting. Guests will be greeted in a front bar area that will serve as a local coffee bar in the morning and will later transform itself into a lively wine bar serving small plates of food throughout the day and into late evening. Beyond the bar, the trattoria will feature warm, saturated colors, wood planked floors, wainscoting, and windows overlooking Gramercy Park; a private dining room serving up to 20 will be available for events and celebrations. Maialino will offer breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The lobby and public space of the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City are a vivid and operatic feast of visual tension and art, an enlivening melange of the "new" High Bohemia. Seemingly haphazard combinations of surreal contemporary pieces and centuries-old furnishings create an alternative universe that's like stepping into a 3-D painting - a classical vocabulary transformed into an edgy new language.
