The Chatwal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, New York City
From its opening in September 2010, The Chatwal salutes the New York City "baby grand" hotels of a bygone era, offering unparalleled accommodations and a fresh perspective on the luxury hotel experience. Set on the "Great White Way" of the theatre district, the landmark Stanford White-designed building was originally home to the famous Lambs Club, a veritable Who's Who of American theatre. Beautifully restored and modernized by Master Architect and Designer Thierry Despont, The Chatwal's 76 guest rooms boast custom-designed luxuries while meticulously recreating 1930's Deco design, evoking the feeling of a moment preserved in time. Guestroom features include fine 400-thread count Frette linens and amenities from Asprey, exclusive to New York. Paying homage to the building's original purpose - showcasing talent and creativity, whether on stage, or in the kitchen and behind the bar - Chef Geoffrey Zakarian is behind The Lambs Club, the 90-seat restaurant at The Chatwal New York. The circa-1905 building is the first member of the prestigious Luxury Collection Hotels in Manhattan. The Chatwal Hotel New York is the vision of Mr. Sant Chatwal, entrepreneur and Chairman and CEO of Hampshire Hotels & Resorts. With a goal to create intimate gathering places and rooms with the highest attention to detail – The Chatwal truly joins past with future, while maintaining a uniquely New York character. The opening of The Chatwal New York also marks the launch of Sant Chatwal's new luxury hotel brand, The Chatwal – with plans in the works for additional luxury properties outside London and in India. www.thechatwalny.com
