Gramercy Park Hotel

New York, United States[view map]

Style: A bohemian rhapsody
Setting: East Side storeys

A beguiling muddle of styles, colours and spaces, the boho Gramercy Park Hotel is clearly a product of Ian Schrager’s idiosyncratic imagination. Exposed brickwork stands alongside bare wood, lush scarlet drapes tickle stark black-leather furniture, and Louis XV chairs sit beneath works by Cy Twombly and Damien Hirst. Add to this a wonderful East Side location, access to the city’s only private park – where children can play freely – and stunning rooftop gardens, and you’ve got a place as edgy, cool and unclassifiable as New York City itself.
