Fifth Avenue · New York · Est. 1929

The Vesper
Grand

Thirty-nine storeys of gilded calm above Manhattan — where the Jazz Age never checked out, the martinis are never rushed, and every key is still cut from brass.

Rooms & Residences

The Suites

Two hundred and twelve keys, no two alike — each restored to its 1929 drawings, then quietly spoiled with the present century.

68 m² · Park View · Floors 22–31

The Fitzgerald Suite

A corner study in walnut, jade lacquer and unpolished brass. The bar cart is stocked to your file before you arrive; the view of the Park is stocked by nature.

From $1,450 / night Reserve

84 m² · Private Terrace · Floors 32–36

The Peacock Suite

Emerald lacquer walls, hand-set feather marquetry, and a soaking tub carved from a single block of verde marble. The terrace holds two chairs and every sunset.

From $2,100 / night Reserve

220 m² · The Crown · Floor 39

The Meridian Penthouse

The entire crown of the hotel: a private observatory dome, a Steinway that once toured with Ellington, a butler's pantry, and a bath with the best seat in New York.

From $6,800 / night Reserve

Evenings & Rituals

Salons of the House

Four rooms, four tempers — kept exactly as the architects Delano & Rousseau left them, down to the last brass inlay.

The Peacock Bar

Forty-two martinis on the card and one golden rule: never rushed. Ask Reynard for the 1929 Vesper, stirred to the house metronome.

Daily · 5 pm — 2 am

Le Salon Doré

A marble hammam, gold-leaf facials, and a 22-metre bathing hall beneath a barrel vault of hand-set emerald mosaic.

Daily · 6 am — 10 pm

The Astor Ballroom

Three thousand crystal prisms above a sprung maple floor. Home of the Midnight Orchestra every Saturday since repeal.

Events · By Arrangement

The Observatory

A 39th-floor lounge of telescopes, star charts and rare cognac. On clear nights the sommelier pairs constellations.

Nightly · Dusk — Late

Ninety-Seven Years of Service

One does not simply stay at The Vesper Grand. One is received, restored, and returned to the city several years younger than one arrived.
