Art defines the Gramercy Park Hotel. The rooms are adorned by works by Warhol, Basquiat, Hirst, Prince, Haring or Schnabel. In the bar actors and actresses like Scarlett Johansson or Philip Seymour Hoffman sip their cocktails.

 

Since its opening in 1929 the bohemian art scene has met in the Gramercy Park: Humphrey Bogart celebrated his wedding here, and also Babe Ruth came to enjoy on or two drinks. In former times, architect Stanfort White and author Edith Wharton lived on the property on which the house – designed by Robert T. Lyons – is situated. A few years ago, the building was refurbished by hotel expert Ian Schrager.

 

Wherever the hotel guest looks at, he will dive into the artistic glamour as soon as he awakes in his room – designed by Julian Schnabel and Maarten Baas – or finds himself drinking a Martini in the Rose Bar below Damien Hirst's painting. The exhibitions in the Gramercy alter at regular intervals. The decoration in the 185 rooms and suites, six of them specially designed, as well as the penthouse however remains. Rooms starting from 425 dollar.
