June 24 2007: The hotel is beautifully done (the entrance feels like a ski lodge with high beamed ceilings), but I found the atmosphere of the room a bit cold. It was simple and pristine with classic colors and but a little too dark (ie. not well lit...it was one of the green rooms - maybe the pink would be lighter). Loft rooms are a good idea and not a bad deal for a lot more space. For a night out at the Rose Bar it's great and you can reserve a table with the room. By now they have surely made menus for the roof terrace bar (fantastic with receding glass roof in summer), early on for hors d'oeuvres you had to ask for room service to the roof!

Location. A Bohemian legend, the Gramercy Park Hotel, rises above Lexington Avenue in New York, N.Y. The hotel is across the street from Gramercy Park. New York City's Greenwich Village is eight blocks away. This high rise hotel is located one block from Theodore Roosevelt's birthplace. Union Square is four blocks from the hotel. Hotel Features. This property features checkered Moroccan tile, swirls of patterned carpets, red velvet curtains set against lumber pillars and Belle Époque décor framing Italian stone fireplaces. Contemporary work by artists including Andy Warhol and Damien Hirst further complete the Bohemian aura. Wakiya, the hotel's onsite restaurant offers a fresh style of Chinese cooking and Dim Sum brunches on the weekends. The popular Rose and Jade Bar touts a wood burning fireplace and a walnut bar opposite a custom designed pool table. Aerospace, the hotel's health club, houses cardiovascular and and weight training equipment. Personal trainers are available by appointment. Aerospa offers massage therapies, body wraps, and a complete menu of beauty treatments. The hotel's business center contains one computer. Dramatically designed function space accommodates events.
Guestrooms. The Gramercy Park Hotel features unique layouts throughout each of its 184 guestrooms. Rooms afford views of Gramercy Park, Lexington Avenue or the courtyard. Premium bedding includes feather mattresses, 400 thread count Frette Italian linens, and down comforters and pillows. Select rooms boast mahogany bathrooms with separate deep soaking tubs and showers. Flat screen televisions, CD and DVD players, and MP3 adaptors provide technological appeal. The guestrooms' color palette was inspired by Raphael. Distinctive art collections, imported, hand tufted rugs and rose hued velvet window treatments draped from custom made bronze rods enhance the guestroom ambience. Stocked English bars feature European crystal stemware.
Expert Tip. The Private Roof Club and Garden offers exclusive indoor and outdoor space to guests of the hotel and to select, private members. This 16th floor club features a retractable roof and city views. The Private Roof Club and Garden combines the charm of London's clubs with the Bohemian bustle of a Viennese coffee house.
