The Carlyle, a Rosewood Hotel

The Carlyle is the most discreet and socially prestigious luxury hotel on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, a 1930 landmark on Madison Avenue whose Bemelmans Bar, Café Carlyle, and nearly a century of quietly hosting every president since Truman and the most famous names in entertainment, fashion, and global finance have made it the single most socially coveted and personally loyal-generating luxury hotel address in New York for guests who know that the best hotels in the world do not need to announce themselves. The Rosewood management has elevated the product quality and service standards while preserving the specific atmosphere of discretion and personal recognition that makes The Carlyle what it is, and the Upper East Side location gives groups the most residential and culturally refined hotel neighborhood in Manhattan. For planners booking New York programs for principals who are already Carlyle regulars or who aspire to be, there is no substitute in the market. Similar properties worth benchmarking include The Pierre and The Mark Hotel.
