The Carlyle is an emblem of New York glamour and luxury. Nestled in the heart of the Upper East Side, the hotel is legendary for its first-class combination of discretion and grace. Designed by the noted architectural firm Bien & Prince and named in honor of British essayist Thomas Carlyle, the hotel has been a Manhattan landmark for decades. The Carlyle features 192 rooms and suites with stunning views of Central Park and New York, serving an impressive list of guests and visitors. Every American president since Truman has visited, and its rich history includes visiting Royals and heads-of-state—HRH, the Prince of Wales; the late Diana, Princess of Wales; the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, their Majesties, and the kings and queens of Denmark, Greece, Spain and Sweden have all visited. Today, The Carlyle continues to be the pinnacle of luxury for sophisticated travelers. With 192 lavish rooms, including 92 suites, The Carlyle offers the exclusive ambiance of an Upper East Side pied-à-terre. Exquisitely decorated by legendary designers such as Tony Chi and Thierry Despont, our luxury New York accommodations are a wonderful example of elegance and comfort.
