Ninety rooms of brass, lacquer and marble. A mirrored ballroom, a rooftop bar above the lights, and a jazz trio every night at nine.
Built in 1926 by an architect who had just come back from Paris, the Owl has kept its bones: the fluted lobby columns, the nickel lifts, the fan-light over the revolving door. Restored, not replaced.
What is new is quiet — the climate, the mattresses, the wiring behind the marble. You will not see any of it. That is the point.
The corner of the 20th floor. Grand piano, dressing room, butler on call.
View roomRooftop bar, 21st floor. Open from five, cocktails until two, a view worth the lift ride.
A ballroom for 240, restored to the last panel. Weddings, galas, and Sunday tea dances.
The ground-floor grill. Martinis at the brass bar, a trio on the stand every night at nine.
“They kept the ballroom, kept the lifts, kept the doorman’s posture. Everything else, they made new.”Traveller Magazine
