The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, New York

The Surrey - An Art Deco Upper East Side landmark with a private roof garden and Relais & Châteaux distinction

Standing as New York City hotel's sole Relais & Châteaux member inducted in two decades, The Surrey occupies a prime Upper East Side location, a 5-minute walk from 77th Street-Lenox Hill Hospital station. The 17th-floor private roof garden presents panoramic views of Central Park and Manhattan's skyline, complemented by a seasonal garden featuring lavender, mint, and roses. Bar Pleiades pays homage to Manhattan's 1970s art elite through its Coco Chanel-inspired décor with black and white lacquer finishes and French doors. A 24-hour fitness center operates on the second floor. Chef Daniel Boulud's Café Boulud serves French cuisine crafted with seasonal ingredients. The Surrey sits within 0.5 miles of the Guggenheim Museum, Neue Galerie, and Central Park Zoo, while Times Square and Grand Central lie 1.5 miles away.
