Tom McCaffrey, The New Yorker Hotel's Director of Marketing and Sales, was once again my host, for an impressive tour of this world renowned hotel, built in the 1930's, which has just unveiled its $70 million renovation. Architectural firm, Stonehill & Taylor, worked with the New Yorker to add fine touches, inspired by 1930's Hollywood and New York, as well as the TSS Normandie cruise ship. The front lobby has removed carpeting to reveal its original marble floors, in striking patterns of burgundy, cream, and silver. The chandelier has been constructed to match smaller, individual lighting fixtures, all evocative of art deco styling and ambiance.

The lobby ceiling is patterned in hundreds of gold floral squares, and seating groups are in shades of brown, gold, silver, cream, and burgundy. Hand-painted wall murals illustrate iconic images of New York City, like The Brooklyn Bridge, The Chrysler Building, The Statue of Liberty, and Rockefeller Center. Guest rooms are decidedly contemporary and sleek, with silver-brown furniture, flat-panel televisions, creamy marble tables, and elegant, pedestal sinks. The city views are unique, and you can even book a room to view the Macy's July 4th Fireworks, Barbecue included! Additional New Yorker Package Specials include Broadway show tickets and much more.

Book a room at The New Yorker Hotel to experience this rare restoration, and be sure to stop by Cooper's Tavern for lunch or dinner. You will be thrilled to find a delightful and delicious selection of contemporary American cuisine.
