New York Palace Hotel Mansion Rooms for Events and Meetings

The New York Palace Hotel in Manhattan recently completed the renovation of, The Mansion Rooms, after a 17 month, $12 million public space project. The shiny new 13,000 square foot space on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel’s “Villard Mansion” feature seven amazing room designs overlooking the historic courtyard. The mansion was incorporated in to the design of the 55 story hotel tower, which was constructed in the last part of the 1970’s (like me). The mansion serves as the entry way to the hotel.

The new rooms were designed for events and meetings and are located above the restaurant GILT.

The property is located on the corner of 50th & Madison in Manhattan.

Niklaus J. Leuenberger, Managing Director of The New York Palace Hotel, claims: “The Mansion Rooms are a state-of-the- art homage to the life and spirit of legendary American entrepreneur Henry Villard. These rooms have been masterfully crafted to recreate the feeling and spirit of late nineteenth century New York. What gives this venue greater authenticity is the fact that it was created within the walls of a structure that played host to some of the most seminal moments of the Gilded Age. From private meetings to grand soirees, we are thrilled that the upper floors of The Villard Mansion are once again alive with the sounds of celebration.” Sounds swanky, huh?

  in New York City.
