New York City – The Surrey Hotel, an iconic establishment in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, has officially reopened after a comprehensive renovation led by design studio Martin Brudnizki. This renovation marks the hotel’s debut under the Corinthia Hotels brand in North America and aims to restore the property’s historic glamour while integrating modern luxury.
The Surrey, located at the corner of East 76th Street and Madison Avenue, was originally built in 1926. It has a storied past, having hosted prominent personalities such as Rosemary Clooney, Bette Davis, and even John F. Kennedy during its early years. The recent renovations include upgrades across the property featuring 100 guest accommodations, which comprise 70 rooms, 30 suites, and 14 private residences.
Design elements reflect a sophisticated Art Deco influence, integrating rich textures, a warm color palette of cream, gold, and terra-cotta, and distinctive Murano chandeliers. The hotel’s design concept pays homage to the past while offering luxurious comfort and style. Among the highlights are four signature suites inspired by Central Park’s iconic bridges: Bethesda, Pine Bank, Greywacke, and Bow, each equipped with indulgent amenities such as fireplaces and oversized soaking tubs.
In addition to luxury accommodations, The Surrey features an on-site spa in collaboration with Sisley Paris. This spa offers exclusive treatments like the Black Rose Replumping Facial and targeted scalp massages. Guests seeking wellness and relaxation will find the amenities thoughtfully designed to rejuvenate both body and mind.
Dining enthusiasts will be drawn to Casa Tua, a prestigious restaurant and private members’ club that already boasts locations in Miami and Aspen. Casa Tua serves upscale Italian cuisine and cocktails, providing a vibrant culinary experience that complements the hotel’s luxurious offering.
The Surrey also showcases an art collection curated by Paris-based Visto gallery, spotlighting works by contemporary New York City artists. This emphasis on local artwork enhances the cultural appeal of the hotel, making it not just a place to stay but a space for art lovers and visitors alike.
Additional amenities at The Surrey enhance its appeal for both the casual visitor and the sophisticated traveler. The property includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, an outdoor yoga patio, and fully accessible rooms, ensuring a comfortable stay for all guests. Its prime location near Central Park and world-renowned shopping along Madison Avenue, coupled with cultural attractions on Fifth Avenue, positions The Surrey as a must-visit destination in Manhattan.
The hotel’s commitment to the environment is evident through its LEED silver certification, signaling its dedication to sustainability while delivering a luxurious experience. This blend of historical charm and modern amenities aims to attract a diverse clientele, from locals to international celebrities.
The reopening of The Surrey is being seen as a significant revitalization of the historic property. With its blend of luxury, strategic location, and focus on sustainability, the hotel is set to become a beloved fixture in New York City’s hospitality scene, catering to both high-profile guests and everyday visitors looking for a unique and upscale experience.
