City Club Hotel

Once a stately private political club, this location has been reborn as a small luxury hotel, provides personal service, a central location and the feeling on check-in that you've come home.

The City Club hotel pampers guests with genuine comfort and luxury, offering a subtly chic sanctuary yet also easy proximity to Times Square, the Theatre District, and Fifth Avenue's finest jewelry and boutique stores.

The old City Club premises provided a non-partisan atmosphere where Democrats and Republicans would convene to discuss politics of the day. Originally commissioned in 1901 and completed in 1904, the building housed function rooms, public and private reception rooms, offices, and sleeping quarters for members laid out in the same arrangement as today.

Sold in 1939 to become an office building, then the headquarters of the American Plywood Association, in the 1970s it was again turned into offices.

Jeff Klein bought the site in 1999 with his partners Forthright Development and Stephen Brighenti, returning it to its original glory as a gentleman's club with sleeping quarters, and restoring its original name.
Designed by Jeffrey Bilhuber in a "New American Classical" style, the brown beige and pale blue rooms include a dynamic mix of traditional materials and modern sensibilities with an emphasis on comfort and luxury.

The handsome rooms feature hand-drawn plaster walls, Honduran mahogany, Frette bed linen, feather down beds, waxed cork flooring, polished bronze, silvered mica, and matte limestone.

All accommodations have bathrooms drenched in luscious chocolate marble, and feature chrome fixtures with C.O. Bigelow bath products. Included in each space is a unique blend of abstract art, framed old New York maps and playbills, vintage books and even old vinyl records mounted in Plexiglass squares.

Anything but a bistro, DB Bistro Moderne - the award winning eatery from award-winning chef Daniel Boulud is conveniently located in the hotel lobby serving his much-sought-after French-American fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as providing room service to guests.

Comprised of two dining rooms linked by a paneled wine bar, the front area is bright and casual, while the back offers a more intimate, subdued table-clothed ambiance. An ideal meeting place for after-work cocktails or pre-dinner drinks.

Situated on the north side of 44th street in the center of midtown, between the shopping mecca of Fifth and 6th Avenues, Times Square, the NY Public Library, Broadway theater district, and Grand Central Station, City Club Hotel offers easy access to nearby Central Park West and Bryant Park, as well as Rockefeller Center nightlife, great restaurants, and museums.
