The ornate facade of the building is matched by original architectural details inside, such as the lobby’s vaulted ceiling and domed tempietto on the rooftop. Guest rooms showcase a mix of old and new, such as original moldings and large windows, along with commissioned artworks from local artists and bespoke furniture. Bathrooms have a crisp, tailored look with wood accents and subway tile.

Kick off your day with breakfast or brunch at the all-day Corner Bar where the menu is inspired by classic bistro fare. The lavish Swan Room is located in the former bank teller room and showcases pink Tennessee marble walls, a vaulted ceiling, and luxurious booths. Sip on a cocktail and tuck into a plate of oysters.

Unwind in the Swan Room which is like a grand living room during the day, or kick back in the private East Room located on the second floor.

It’s a five minute walk to both the Tenement Museum and the International Center of Photography Museum. Eat your way through Chinatown and Little Italy, and take a cab to the East River Promenade to soak up the views.
