The City Club is a sleek luxury hotel in Midtown
Manhattan, tucked neatly between Fifth Avenue shopping and the
Times Square theater district. 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.
