Since it opened its doors in 1931, Manhattan's historic Carlyle Hotel has been a "home away from home" for a number of sophisticated travelers, including presidents, actors and Hollywood producers. Located on Madison Avenue, the hotel offers its guests privacy, attentive service, fitness center and spectacular views of Central Park.

The Carlyle Restaurant offers romantic formal dining while Cafe Carlyle features performances by Bobby Short, Eartha Kitt, Woody Allen and other artists. In public spaces around the hotel, guests can admire museum-quality art and antiques dating to the eighteenth century.

Boutique shopping is just steps away on Madison Avenue which is home to a number of international stores, including Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang, Versace, Hermes and Prada.

Guest Rooms at The Carlyle Have a Residential Feel

The hotel offers 128 rooms, 56 suites and 60 residential apartments. Each guest accommodation was individually furnished with rich color schemes such as Chinese red, burnt orange and celadon. Precious pieces of art, such as antique porcelain lamps, vases and Louis XV style furniture, adorn hotel guest rooms.

Dining and Entertainment

The Carlyle Restaurant offers intimate dining in an elegant room furnished with Aubusson rugs, Ampola china, marble mantels, and lavish floral arrangements. The restaurant serves fresh interpretations of French cuisine and features a half million-dollar wine cellar.
