Emerging from the building's storied limestone
facade, which once housed an exclusive social club, guests may
venture via foot or Town Car to Manhattan's prestigious shops,
venues and restaurants. Though personable and discrete in every
regard, the City Club is not a boutique. Hotel owner and self
described eternal host Jeff Klein avoids the tired cliche
surrounding the b word. If there was ever a distinction to be
made between the fleeting panache of boutique hotels and the
timeless echelon of sophistication, the hotel makes it
apparent.
Indeed, the City Club defies the boutique stereotype with
aspirations of immortality. Notable designer Jeffrey Bilhuber,
whose clients include Michael Douglas and David Bowie,
orchestrated the hotel's interior. The hotel's elegantly styled
lobby was designed not to impress, but to entice on a diminutive
scale. The typically intimidating and cold expanse of stone and
marble found all too often in New York has been supplanted for an
intimate tchotchkie laden sitting area with inviting sofas on a
designer cork floor. World renowned chef Daniel Boulud's newest
restaurant, DB Bistro Moderne, reinvents the traditional European
bistro as a contemporary culinary jewel box. The DB offers dining
and room service for all meals.
The nine story City Club offers 65 guest rooms, each featuring
exquisite designs. Premium bedding with 320 thread count linens
permits sleep in a city alleged to have none. The City Club
maintains an all original art collection throughout the property.
Entertainment centers boast CD and DVD play back. Televisions
with premium channels are masked by two way mirrors, which lose
their reflective opacity upon the click of a remote. The
bathrooms, complete with cascading showers, are decked in rich
chocolate marble. Guest rooms offer complimentary high speed
Internet access and will appeal to touring visitors and
sophisticated professionals who value style on par with
luxury.
