Film and event friendly

Facing Central Park, this building is heavily influenced by the Italian Renaissance.  This historic manor is the work of architects Alexander Walter and Léon Gillette, five-story residence in 1926. Grandiose style inspired by the early 20th century Decorative Arts. Large spiral staircase composed of a trompe-l’oeil marble leads to the second floor, the piano nobile. The staircase leads to the Salon Cheminée featuring a polychrome marble floor, smooth-shafted columns in trompe l’oeil veined marble and pilasters topped with Corinthian-style capital. The Salon Cheminée opens to the left onto the Salon Chapelle, with magnificent arched ceiling and parquet à la française.  On the other side, the Salon Rose is lit by three wide French windows with round arches offering a stunning view of Central Park. The natural lighting is amplified by a splendid Louis XV bronze and crystal Baccarat chandelier with fifty-six lights. A remarkable polychrome-coffered wooden ceiling covers the entire room, representing various ancient Greco-Roman mythological figures such as nymphs, goddesses and centaurs. The Salon Rose contains some of the most prestigious artwork, including a sumptuous Gobelins tapestry from the 18th century.
