Description

This is a high-class hotel. There's a man playing classical music in the lounge. You can go up the staircase near him and find couches and empty conference rooms upstairs.

The New York Palace Hotel is an independently owned luxury hotel that blends the historic landmark Villard Houses with a modern 55-story tower. Located at the center of Manhattan in Midtown at the corner of 50th Street and Madison Avenue, it is located directly across the street from St Patrick's Cathedral, and a short walk from Rockefeller Center and Saks Fifth Avenue.

Walking through the gates of the Hotel's famed Villard Mansion on Madison Avenue and down the hotel's grand staircase; it's easy to see why The New York Palace Hotel is renowned for its elegance and rich history.

The Gilded Age of the late nineteenth century aligns with the golden age of today with Gilt, a modern European restaurant and bar.

A layer of contemporary architecture has been carefully added to the landmarked circa-1880s space. In the truly gilded, high-ceilinged lounge, stretched purple fabric sets the backdrop for a glowing bar. In the dark-paneled, library-like dining room, tables with clear bases sit in contrast.

Tips

The man playing music will take requests.
The Lobby Lounge no longer exists. The only lounge is The Madison Room which has loud music and more of a "bar" feel.
