The
New York Palace is just a short distance from the Rockefeller Center and the
luxury of Saks Fifth Avenue. This legendary
luxury lifestyle hotel is one of the
very best and has long been recognized as a premier hotel in New York and around the globe. This is thanks to the prime location in which it stands, the
luxury level of service, and magnificent views.
Built in 1882 as a residence known as the Villard Houses, which would eventually change from private residences to offices accommodating the Archdiocese, to offices for some of the
very best internationally known companies, there is a great deal of heritage. During the 1970’s the Archdiocese of New York got permission for a hotel development that would combine the property. The
lifestyle design incorporated the old house with a newer 55- storey tower. The hotel first opened its doors as the Helmsley Palace in 1980 and underwent a drastic restoration costing many millions of dollars and changed ownership.
At present the
New York Palaceis part of the Dorchester collection of
luxury hotels of the
very best. The Villard Mansion is the
excellent venue for business meetings; the Villard Ballroom is one of the
very best settings for elegant gatherings and social occasions. The Palace Gate is a
luxury outdoor lounge in the setting of one of the
finest courtyards which blends in superbly with the past
