The Royalton, located in the heart of midtown Manhattan, introduced the world to the concepts of Hotel as Theatre and the Art of Lobby Socializing. The hotel's beautiful Lobby, with its stage-set elegance, runs an entire city block. Philippe Starck's elegantly minimal design evoked the feeling and romance of steamship travel, albeit in a totally modern way, where a cross-section of interesting world travelers gather to depart on a journey together. The Royalton has 205 oversize rooms and suites, many with working fireplaces, feature custom Starck-designed furniture, ultra-comfortable built-in banquettes running the entire width of the room, silk curtains, crisp white linens, and sumptuous slate bathrooms, many with enormous five-foot round tubs. With their elegant, streamlined furnishings, sophisticated and subdued palette and modern take on the glamour of transoceanic travel, the rooms' are reminiscent of a posh stateroom on a luxury liner. Anchoring the long lobby at its farthest end, and removed somewhat from its bustling activity, '44' is a chicly understated enclave with spacious curved velvet banquettes, providing the perfect setting morning, noon and night, to enjoy outstanding cuisine. The critically acclaimed '44' restaurant serves innovative American cuisine. With its curved tufted leather walls, built-in leather banquettes and checkerboard floor, the Round Bar has become a New York landmark. Inspired by Hemingway's favorite bar at the Ritz in Paris, and secretly tucked in a quiet corner of the Lobby, just 20 of those clever enough to discover this hidden gem can experience the art of lobby socializing at its very best.
