"Since it opened in 1930, The Carlyle has become something more than the sum of its extremely alluring parts, a living legend that embodies, if not the spirit of New York City, at least one of her spirits: her brightest, most sparkling, most elegant self; witty, worldly, and nostalgic. An entire movie has been made about this property—Always at The Carlyle—in which present-day tribal elders such as George Clooney, Sofia Coppola, Wes Anderson, and Naomi Campbell discuss their fondness for the joint. Broadly speaking, the rooms get better the higher the floor. Plus, you get to spend more time in the elevators—not an activity to enjoy in everyday life, but this is not everyday life. The ones at The Carlyle are the stuff of legend, as much admired as the astounding Dorothy Draper lobby or Bemelmans Bar. Imagine if you had been there when Princess Diana, Michael Jackson, and Steve Jobs all piled in (true story). You would have been in awe. Not of them, of course, but of the real superstar—the unflappable, icy-calm, white-gloved Carlyle elevator operator." - Jessica Sulima
"Since opening in 1930, The Carlyle has felt to me like a living legend of New York elegance—witty, worldly and nostalgic—with ornate features like the Dorothy Draper lobby and famed Bemelmans Bar, legendary elevator operators, and rooms that improve the higher you go; the hotel's cultural cachet is illustrated by its devoted admirers and even a documentary about its enduring allure." - CNT Editors
"Go big, go luxurious, go to The Carlyle—it’s your wedding, after all. This iconic sliver of New York City hospitality is a classic for a reason, with the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Central Park mere steps away." - Shelby Wax
"Operating as a discreet, apartment-style refuge in the Old New York mold, The Carlyle is the kind of hotel where the well-heeled and famous seek elegance, privacy and a timeless residential atmosphere rather than spectacle." - Mitchell Friedman
"A 1930 Upper East Side legend known for its enduring nightlife and cultural cachet: the long-running Café Carlyle has hosted performers since 1955, while the Bemelmans Bar features large-scale murals by Ludwig Bemelmans and nightly live jazz (plus a seasonal Madeline tea). Guests enjoy art-deco–tinged rooms—many with Central Park views—Alexandra Champalimaud–designed interiors, and an urban spa offering indulgent Sisley-Paris treatments." - Mary Holland
