The Renwick Hotel New York City is a contemporary, newly reimagined hotel housed in an iconic 1920's brick building, which evokes the spirit of the creative minds who once lived and worked here. Perfectly located on East 40th Street just off Lexington Avenue, the hotel is only two blocks from Grand Central Terminal and walking distance to Park Avenue, the Empire State Building, the New York Public Library, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, Times Square and Fifth Avenue shopping. Manhattan's best attractions, restaurants, museums and Fortune 500 companies are within steps of the hotel. Named for celebrated architect James Renwick, creator of world-renowned St. Patrick's Cathedral, The Renwick was once home to artists' studios, intellectuals and many celebrated writers (including John Steinbeck and F. Scott Fitzgerald) and honors its past by infusing art throughout its public space and guest rooms. Artfully outfitted interiors were designed by Stonehill & Taylor and simply bring The Renwick to life. The hotel offers 173 residential, loft-style guest rooms accented by hand-crafted furnishings and in-room artistic designs of famous artists; select guest rooms feature a personal balcony and 33 of the hotel's accommodations are suites. In-room amenities include a 48-inch Smart TV (55-inch TV in suites) plus mini-refrigerator, artist-style work desk, plush bathrobe and slippers and bath products by Brooklyn-based company Apotheke.
