A Sneak Peek at The Surrey Hotel
While the Crosby Street Hotel wowed us in downtown Manhattan, a sneak peek at The Surrey Hotel left us breathless uptown. If you love The Carlyle, then you will love The Surrey which has the same elegance as The Carlyle, except it's now newer. (And it's just a block away.)
The hotel won't soft-open until October 15 but we took a tour with the hotel's designer Lauren Rottet the other week and got a sneak peek at this model room on the 12th floor.
This is a Grand Deluxe Salon which averages about 330-sq.ft. and features a little sitting area off to the side of the bed. Aside from loving the soft gray color scheme, we found ourselves admiring the hand-painted armoire which holds the flat-screen TV. Usually, we despise armoires in hotel rooms but this one was just too pretty to resist.
The rooms also feature a mirrored wardrobe closet, a vanity/desk and a windowsill seating area overlooking the posh Upper East Side. The minibar is Don Draper-approved with a cocktail tray and the appropriate bar utensils to make your old fashioned, neat. Or at least a Tom Collins.
Downstairs, the public spaces were still undergoing some finishing touches, including the Daniel Boulud restaurant, Cafe Boulud, and the bar but we were able to sneak a peek at the bar chairs. They are adorned with white painted numbers on the backs so you can order a drink for the cutie sitting in chair #5. Tell 'em it's from the captivating stranger in chair #1.
We will keep you updated on more of what's inside The Surrey in the days leading up to its opening but for now, tour the hotel through our photo gallery below.
