New York rooftop

One of New York’s most stylish roof gardens has re-opened on top of the iconic Gramercy Park Hotel, part of Design Hotels and situated on Lexington between 22nd and 21st Streets.  Quite unique the boutique hotel has just 185 rooms, tiny by New York standards.  Its location is adjacent to New York’s sole private park, accessible only to residents and hotel guests.

The 18th floor terrace has a retractable glass roof and mirrors the romance of the hotel interior with glass lanterns hung amid the lush greenery of the roof garden trellises.  The atmosphere of this lush, green oasis combines the Bohemian bustle of a Viennese coffeehouse with the charm of London’s private members' clubs.  Iconic artworks by Damien Hirst and Andy Warhol share space with custom-made furniture. www.gramercyparkhotel.com
