New York City's Most Historic Hotels Have Stories to Tell

"Sited where swampy lots were divided in the 1830s, the property traces back to the New York Hotel, which opened in 1925 on the site where Edith Wharton was born; I've learned it's a favorite of musicians, celebrities, and politicians—hosting Humphrey Bogart, John F. Kennedy, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, and Bob Marley—and its art collection includes works by Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Keith Haring." - Alison Fox Alison Fox Alison Fox is a Travel + Leisure contributor.

"Art Hotels: Gramercy Park Hotel, New York When hotelier Ian Schrager took over this landmark property in 2006, he brought in artist and filmmaker Julian Schnabel to oversee the decor. The result is as sexy and provocative as you’d expect. In the lobby, red velvet curtains and hand-tufted rugs combine with centuries-old furnishings and a custom Venetian-glass chandelier for an haut Bohemian effect. Pieces from the likes of Damien Hirst, Andy Warhol, Richard Prince, and Jean-Michel Basquiat hang on the walls. —Jocelyn C. Zuckerman By Afar Magazine"

"Not only is this opulent and over-the-top hotel decked out with pieces from Basquiat, Warhol, and Botero, but it’s also adjacent to the magical Gramercy Park, which is only accessible—via key—to residents of the neighborhood (and, as luck would have it, guests of the hotel). The Baroque vibe is theatrical and fun, and there’s an on-site Italian restaurant (and bakery) from Danny Meyer that makes room service a treat."
