With US borders now reopened to international travellers, it’s the perfect time to shine the spotlight on a luxury New York icon – The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel. 

The legendary property has revealed the completion of a three-year transformation, including new guest rooms and suites, the debut of the hotel’s signature restaurant, Dowling’s at The Carlyle, and the arrival of a new spa by Valmont.

The Carlyle’s newly reimagined guest rooms and suites are inspired by the glamour and beauty of Manhattan’s pre-war era, the Upper East Side, and the glamourous guests whose footsteps have graced the hallowed halls of this storied hotel residence for over ninety years.

Think luxurious fixtures and furnishings, black lacquered panelling and illustrated wallpaper of whimsical vignettes from Central Park, and subtle art deco inspirations that pay homage to The Carlyle’s original designer, Dorothy Draper.

Presidential Suite Debut

Encompassing the entire 26th floor of The Carlyle’s tower, the Presidential Suite offers the ultimate Manhattan living experience. Formerly a privately owned apartment for several decades, the suite was recently added to the hotel’s inventory and features 360-degree views of the city, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase sweeping vistas of Central Park, Midtown and beyond.

The private elevator landing and dramatic entrance features gold leaf and hand-etched Art Deco inspired murals. The suite features three bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one-half bath, living room, full kitchen and media area.

Dowling’s at The Carlyle

This new dining hotspot is named after Robert Whittle Dowling, former owner of The Carlyle. Newly appointed Executive Chef Sylvain Delpique (formerly of 21 Club) has created a menu that features his interpretations of timeless New York favourites.

The stylish and intimate, 80-seat dining room exudes the glamour and charm of the 1930’s and 40’s highlighted by historic artwork and five newly acquired Ludwig Bemelmans paintings.  

Valmont at The Carlyle

Luxury Swiss skincare line Valmont will debut its only namesake New York Spa on 10 December, La Maison Valmont boutique at The Carlyle.

Located on the 3rd floor of the hotel, The Valmont Spa will offer the ultimate hideaway for a luxurious and relaxing experience, with a range of unique and exclusive treatments dedicated to The Carlyle.
