NEW YORK / 7
THE KNICKERBOCKER, Times Square
The Knickerbocker hotel is as original, vibrant and dynamic as New York
City itself. Commanding a premier address in the heart of Manhattan, in the
glow of Times Square and the calm of Bryant Park, this is an iconic New
York City landmark reborn.
Situated on Times Square and just blocks from some the city’s most revered
diversions—Broadway, The Metropolitan Opera, MoMA, and an easy reach of Fifth
Avenue and Central Park— names like Rockefeller and Fitzgerald once gathered in
its popular barroom; then fondly known as The 42nd Street Country Club. Today,
the bar has gone up in the world – to the roof top – where it delights with dynamic
vistas of Times Square from its expansive terrace including private VIP corner seating.
Once you retire, you will discover a welcome calming palette in the tastefully
appointed rooms and suites. So named after the city’s moniker, this newly re-opened
hotel is a true credit to its past grandeur - You could say, it is a Knickerbocker glory.

GRAMERCY PARK, East Manhattan
This famously opulent Manhattan hotel has an extraordinarily Bohemian
heritage that has made it a legend. It stands on the site of the townhouse where
Edith Wharton was born and generations of artists, writers and musicians have
continued to frequent its infamously charming downtown bar. With one-of-akind
paintings and sculptures, the Gramercy Park Hotel is more than a prime
address but a work of art just steps away from New York’s only private park.
The lobby and public spaces feature a baroque feast of surreal artwork, epic canvases,
lush velvet curtains and antique furnishings which together create an operatic virtual
reality. This otherworldly, jazzy spirit is carried through into the 185 rooms and suites.
Here daring Renaissance color and bold art pieces are juxtaposed with imported hand
tufted rugs and mahogany window enclosures and curated photographs.
There’s much else to the Gramercy experience: the candlelit Rose Bar and Jade Bar
are two of the most eclectic, energetic and edgy public places in New York City and
Maialino is a new Roman-style trattoria from award-winning Danny Meyer’s Union
