Now offering: Luxury furnished studio with king bed in Lombardy Hotel with Gym, Front Desk, Bellman, Doorman, all bed linens, towels, toiletries, wifi, electricity, heat, A/C included. Perfect pied a terre where you can enjoy the luxury and convenience of hotel living. The Snug and unique space is available for short/long term, please inquire. Cozy and intimate, this gemutlich studio in the iconic Lombardy Hotel is dubbed THE SNUG for its historical Edwardian /Arts & Crafts ambience and efficient use of a small "snug" space. King bed, original white-tiled full bath, kitchenette niche, housekeeping available, and gym, make this the perfect sanctuary for your stay in NYC. William Randolph Hurst, the great media mogul and inspiration for "Citizen Kane" built the gorgeous Lombardy Hotel as a Deco limestone fortress for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies (the inspiration for "Rosebud"). The Lombardy has been the New York residence of film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and almost a century later still feels like a grand New York apartment house. The apartments of the Lombardy are individually owned and decorated co-ops, and this intimate 250s.f. studio, affectionately dubbed THE SNUG, is a historical Midtown gem, the perfect quiet hideaway for your rest, relaxation, and enjoyment. Please note: this is a unique old-style hotel room in a 4-star historic hotel, but it is a small 250s.f. studio with the owner's unique and inviting decor. The space includes the 9 x 17 bedroom with king bed, an en suite original bathroom (classic Deco style white tile with deep bathtub), 4' clothing closet, and 3' kitchenette niche (featuring undercounter refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and electric kettle). THE SNUG's period decor and and original fixtures transport you back in time to a New York hotel room from The Great Gatsby. It is small, yes, but as it is in the back of the building --on 56th Street facing north-- it is insulated from street noise. While the tall oak wainscoting, oriental rugs, brocade drapes, and stained glass are unique to this room, even people with a taste for the modern can appreciate its ergonomic features: a drop-front Edwardian desk offers laptop surface and cabinet storage so you can unpack your clothes and/or store your suitcase in the closet (or underneath the secretary), the wall-mounted 52" flat-screen TV makes viewing from bed a breeze, and the seating area with two mohair Deco chairs features a coffee table that raises to dining-table height for enjoying your take-out meals and coffee. Your 48" window faces north and allows ample filtered light. It's on the 2nd floor, and outside the window is a wide brick terrace (NOT accessible) with it's oxidized copper roofing detail. Reach out today to inquire about this unique and one-of-a-kind rental.
