IT’S OFFICIAL: Gramercy Park Hotel Bought by Luxury Hotelier I Grand Plans Ahead Rooms to become luxury suites. Maialino commencing redo. CUSTOM MADE FOR GRAND ENTRANCES: APARTMENT 3B A twenty-four foot entry gallery delivers one to the magnificent interior of this exceptional residence: a voluminous great room graced with massive textured plaster walls and soaring 12 foot high ceilings overlooking the coveted verdant square through incredible floor-to-ceiling “Walls of Glass”. Absolutely fabulous for entertaining, this stunning south-facing great room is filled with the park and the sky where every season is magnified and on full display.

Also beckoning quiet evenings in front of the wood-burning fireplace, this 2729 square foot loft-like design delivers a lovely light-filled, floor-through continuum via humongous southern and northern exposures. Simply stunning. The jewel-like, park-facing library with adjacent study/office, enriched by beautiful Wenge paneling, provides a rather swank spot to read or watch the telly. Study closes for complete privacy for zoom meetings or videotaping.

Could be a 3rd bedroom. Pure aesthetic reveals itself in the new chefs kitchen designed by the owner, an aficionado of the culinary arts and pleasures. Custom made in Brooklyn, the gigantic 115” x 54” island is constructed of the finest stainless steel with a fully integrated 45” x 18” dish drain sink. Full wall backsplash is white subway tile and touches of warm wood mix with the stainless finishes.

Handsome. This immaculate design includes everything necessary for the experience.

Both ensuite bedrooms are quietly tucked away from the grand entertaining. Primary suite features custom closets outfitted in Grey Oak by Poliform and a spa-like bath with travertine double basins, heated floor, a deep soaking tub and a large steam shower. The serene Zen-like second bedroom is a result of its luxurious cashmere lined walls, a most elegant sound-proofing.

All new HVAC, new solid walnut doors and hardware. Sound system installed. Created by Ian Schrager and designed by acclaimed British architect, John Pawson, 50 Gramercy Park North is the perfect combination of storied history and modern luxury.

Shown by Appointment. *Hotel services (in-room dining, housekeeping, valet, catering) will resume with the re-opening of the Gramercy Park Hotel. Established in the 1830’s by Samuel B. Ruggles, Gramercy Park, remains a well-kept respite from the hustle and bustle of Manhattan. Steeped in history and period architecture, it remains appealing to all generations, ensconced just north of the ever-evolving, ever current restaurant row of historic Irving Place. 3B overlooks the original townhouses that still grace Gramercy Park West and the beautiful structures lining the southern edge, among them the National Arts and Players Clubs.
