The Carlyle Hotel has been an Upper East Side institution since 1930. Few hotels have inspired a documentary film, a book by Assouline and a fashion collection. The Carlyle is in a class of its own and has been attracting celebrities from all over the world for almost 100 years. Whether you’re travelling to New York for the first time or the fiftieth, this is the place to immerse yourself in New York’s glamorous past and vibrant present. Lenny Kravitz once described the hotel as follows: “The Carlyle smells of vibrancy, a mixture of Chanel perfume, cigars, whiskey and peonies.” The service is brilliant from the first moment á la 5-star manner. Charismatic doormen in top hats and white gloves greet guests like old friends, and all the staff are sophisticated but not too serious, just like the house itself.
