Built in 1926 as a residence hotel, the original Surrey was home to many of New York’s most eccentric celebrities. JFK, Bette Davis, and Claudette Colbert are just a few famous faces that recognized the allure of exceptional and discreet service here. Now - building on our storied past - the hotel's glamour and sophistication have been restored, making it an icon of the future.
The 16-story building boasts 70 guest rooms, 30 suites and 14 residences, which draw inspiration from the hotel's illustrious history and surroundings. Signature suites are inspired by the bridges of Central Park, with sublime comfort and spectacular elegance at its core. Guests can expect intelligently-designed guest spaces filled with modern luxury, and constant culture at their fingertips.
