Old New York at its most romantic — Bemelmans Bar, cabaret at Café Carlyle, and nearly a century of cultural history.
Why We Chose It
A 1930 Upper East Side tower that has been the Manhattan residence of presidents and cultural figures for nearly a century. Bemelmans Bar (the last place in New York with original Ludwig Bemelmans murals) and Café Carlyle for intimate cabaret make this the defining romantic hotel in the city.
What Stands Out
- Bemelmans Bar — original murals
