For an infusion of Parisian flair and European warmth, a stay at the four-star Carlton, Autograph Collection in the Murray Hill neighborhood is a must for the romantic at heart. Once the location of the glamorous Hotel Seville this 100+ year- old Beaux- Art building’s interior was renovated by famed award winning American designer and decorator, David Rockwell. Art Deco design and flirty and festive atmosphere exudes old world charm throughout the 317 generous sized guest rooms with Madison Avenue views that are decorated in richly layered textures of soothing soft grey tones. Enhance your stay at this boutique Midtown hideaway and upgrade to one of their signature suites. From billiards to Broadway to hosting your private Speakeasy, there’s an intriguing array of themed suites to indulge any fantasy.

This establishment emulates all the glamour of a French brasserie with a glistening marble raw bar, a 100-year-old mosaic floor, Tiffany Dome skylight, miles of polished brass, a plethora of mirrors and inviting rich ruby red banquettes. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the open kitchen and the savory and mouthwatering seasonal seafood dishes prepared by the two- star Michelin Chef Laurent Manrique.
