- A favorite New York hideaway since William Randolph Hearst built it in 1927 for his Hollywood friends, the Warwick New York continues to be home to todays traveler with its convenient midtown location, intimate atmosphere, and personalized service. With the completion of a 20 million USD renovation in 1998, it has taken meticulous care in maintaining the classic details of the hotel while adding features specifically designed to the modern traveler.
The Warwick New York is located in the heart of midtown within walking distance to many of Manhattans corporate headquarter buildings, Central Park, Fifth Avenue shopping, Broadway and Times Square, Rockefeller Center, many of New Yorks famed museums and cultural institutions, and the hundreds of restaurants Manhattan is known for.
The hotel offers 359 oversized guestrooms, 67 handsomely appointed suites (several with terraces), non-smoking rooms, marble bathrooms, special amenities, high speed wireless internet, dual-line telephones, mini bars, in-room safes, business center, fitness club, valet service, 24 hour room service, and full meeting and banquet facilities.
MURALS on 54, the hotel's refurbished dining room, features innovative continental cuisine with international influences, with a delectable menu consisting of mouth-watering fresh grilled dishes and a variety of fine seafood with strong French, Spanish and Mediterranean accents. The dining rooms' fresh design accentuates the historic murals painted by Dean Cornwell, known as the "Dean of American Illustrators." Cornwell was commissioned by William Randolph Hearst in 1937 to paint murals for The Raleigh Room, then the original restaurant inside this apartment hotel. These murals are now completely restored.
RANDOLPHÂS, a newly expanded and refurbished restaurant and lounge, is designed more like a living room than a bar, with cushy sofas and armchairs and large windows overlooking the drama along Avenue of the Americas. ThereÂs an express business lunch menu, an extensive wine list, and a bar staff with an encyclopedic knowledge of cocktails, from traditional to trendier-than-thou. Because RANDOLPH'S is situated amid the Midtown business and tourism district, itÂs the perfect place for a relaxed business chat or a pre- or post-theatre rendezvous.
The hotels historical past includes some of the more prominent celebrities that were long-time residents including Cary Grant (who resided in the hotel for over 12 years) and Mr. and Mrs. Irving Berlin. The Beatles stayed at The Warwick during their first trip to New York, and it was also home to Elvis Presley whenever he was in New York City for various appearances.
