Gramercy Park Hotel

Top choice in Union Square, Flatiron District & Gramercy


More than $50 million in contemporary art decorates the lounge of this stylish hotel, setting a tone of quiet opulence. Dark-wood paneling and sumptuous sofas greet guests in the lobby, with an open fire in winter, and the signature rose-and-jade color scheme is rich and alluring. Some rooms overlook the park, and guests have private access.

The hotel's celebrity-studded Rose and Jade bars put on live jazz every Tuesday and Thursday night (8pm to 10pm); or go for dinner at Maialino, Danny Meyer’s rustic Italian eatery, which is attached to the hotel.
