465 PARK Ave 19/20W

Step off your private elevator into the extraordinary residence commissioned by William Randolph Hearst for actress Marion Davies at 465 Park Avenue. This sky palace combines American history with European architectural treasures, creating one of New York's most significant residential spaces.

The great hall features a ceiling transported from a Venetian Doge's palace and 17th-century cathedral glass windows that fill the room

with jewel-toned light. Enjoy triple-terraced views of Manhattan while the Ritz Tower's room service delivers your afternoon tea.

Host memorable gatherings in the solarium dining room with its arched stained-glass windows and rare 12-foot Oriental screen. In the evenings, the wood-carved fireplace accentuates the 8-inch oak plank floors and museum-quality English Regency furnishings.
