Royalton

Hotel Description

The groundbreaking Royalton, located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, introduced the world to the concepts of "Hotel as Theatre" and the "Art of Lobby Socializing" - thereby revolutionizing the hotel industry. Royalton's uniquely beautiful Lobby, with its stage-set elegance that runs an entire city block, instantly became the place to see and be seen in New York.

Philippe Starck's elegantly minimal design evoked the feeling and romance of steamship travel -albeit in a totally modern way - where a cross-section of interesting world travelers gather to depart on a journey together. Royalton is still the choice of interesting people the world over.

Luxury Hotel Accommodation

The 205 oversize rooms and suites, many with working fireplaces, feature custom Starck-designed furniture, ultra-comfortable built-in banquettes running the entire width of the room, silk curtains, crisp white linens, and sumptuous slate bathrooms - many with enormous five-foot round tubs.

With their elegant, streamlined furnishings, sophisticated and subdued palette and modern take on the glamour of transoceanic travel, the rooms' are reminiscent of a posh stateroom on a luxury liner.

Royalton's three Penthouses are spacious and elegantly appointed, capturing the mood and feel of a chic Manhattan pied a terre. They feature custom Starck-designed furniture, ultra-comfortable built-in window banquettes, silk curtains, and luxurious slate bathrooms, some with enormous five-foot round tubs, and working fireplaces with custom slate mantels. Large terraces afford stunning views of midtown Manhattan.

All three penthouses are available for meetings and events.
