Royalton Hotel
The groundbreaking Royalton, located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, introduced the world to the concepts of “Hotel as Theatre” and the “Art of Lobby Socializing” – thereby revolutionizing the hotel industry. Royalton's uniquely beautiful Lobby, with its stage-set elegance that runs an entire city block, instantly became the place to see and be seen in New York.
Philippe Starck's elegantly minimal design evoked the feeling and romance of steamship travel –albeit in a totally modern way – where a cross-section of interesting world travelers gather to depart on a journey together. Royalton is still the choice of interesting people the world over.
Royalton Hotel is located in New York City near: The hotel’s rooms have been re-imagined by Charlotte Macaux, retaining Philippe Stark’s original bold features while updating the rooms to embrace the needs of the 21st Century jet-set traveler. Attention and respect to the trend-defining design history of Royalton is continued upstairs with the hallways carpeted with signature blue carpeting and illuminated by multi-tonal lighting. 3 distinctly unique penthouse designs, referencing the primal essence of the lobby, further pay homage to the notion of the hotel’s public spaces, serving as the ultimate living room while the rooms represent a private environment for rest and relaxation.
