Description
The famed Lotte New York Palace sits at the corner of 50th Street and Madison Avenue, right in Midtown Manhattan. Operating impeccably since 1882, this historic landmark is composed of two lavish buildings: the Villard Houses and a 55-story skyscraper. The Neo-Renaissance style present in the architecture makes the palatial hotel stand out from other modern buildings in the area.
Location
Lotte New York Palace’s historic character complements the St. Patrick’s Cathedral – one of the most frequented monuments in New York City, located a short walk away from the hotel. Thanks to its outstanding location in Midtown Manhattan, there are other popular tourist attractions nearby – from the must-see Rockefeller Center to serene Central Park, and even the exciting Times Square.
Luxury shopping is within close proximity, especially the celebrated Fifth Avenue – home to high-end shops like Tiffany & Co (where you can bring your breakfast in the early hours) and Bergdorf Goodman.
Style and Character
The Villard Houses and the skyscraper that make up Lotte New York Palace differ in terms of style. The Houses, commissioned by Henry Villard, are styled in a neo-Italian old-school glamour with grand staircases, gold details, and Corinthian columns. The colossal skyscraper has a business and contemporary vibe, providing some of the best views of the city’s skyline.
The suites are commodious and sumptuous, with marble bathrooms, sophisticated furnishings, and plentiful amenities.
Services and Facilities
A 7000-square-feet fitness center and spa is available at Villard Mansion for all Lotte New York Palace guests. Book a relaxing couple’s massage or break a sweat in the spacious workout area – the choice is all yours. High-speed Wi-Fi is available in every common room and suite, keeping you connected with the outside world throughout your stay. Each suite features silky bathrobes, complimentary Molton Brown toiletries, and a stocked minibar where you can enjoy a midnight snack.
Rooms
Lotte New York Palace has a total of 909 suites. Occupying the top fourteen floors of the hotel, the suites at The Towers provide comfort without compromising on the luxury. Each comes with a snug king bed, an elegant work desk, and various different pieces of artwork.
The warm color palette and plush sofas in each suite will make you feel at home. Although each suite has a slightly different view (you can find that out while you’re making the booking), stunning views of different areas of Midtown Manhattan are guaranteed. Complimentary Molton Brown toiletries can be found in the en-suite white marble bathrooms. Enjoy impeccable room service in the dining areas that overlook the surrounding buildings and landmarks.
