Official Hotel Information

Situated on East 54th Street, it is within walking distance of many mid-town corporate headquarters, cultural landmarks such as the Museum of Modern Art, and some of the most outstanding restaurants and shops in New York. In addition to its amenities, one-of-a-kind guest rooms and beautiful appointments throughout, the Hotel Elys?e is unlike any other hotel in midtown Manhattan offering the comforts and services of a luxury hotel in a setting that has the charm and privacy of a beautiful country inn. The Hotel Elys?e features 87 meticulously renovated rooms, three junior suites, and eleven suites, many with terraces, kitchens or solariums - all with marble bathrooms. A vital part of the New York scene since the 1930s, the Hotel Elys?e has been home to privacy-seeking celebrities from the stage, screen and world of letters - including Tennessee Williams, Ava Gardner, Joe Dimaggio, Vladimir Horowitz, Marlon Brando, the Gish sisters, Dame Margot Fontayn, Harold Robbins, and many others. Conceived in 1926 as a European-style hotel for the carriage trade and named after an upscale French restaurant of the 1920's, the Hotel Elys?e still reflects the old-world charisma of that era. After its construction, the hotel quickly became a playground for the rich and eccentric; a perfect romping ground for movie stars, artists, writers and intellectuals. Still an oasis of grace and elegance in the vibrant heart of New York City, the Hotel Elys?e has preserved the intimacy with which it started but, at the same time, has nurtured a sense of modernity as time has progressed.
