The Jewel of The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel
Since it first rose to join the New York City skyline in 1926, The Surrey Hotel has secured its place as a beacon of luxury amongst Manhattan’s prestigious streets. Once home to numerous esteemed names of stage, screen, and government, its appeal has never waned, just evolved.
Today, the gilded doors have once again opened under the fold of Corinthia Hotels. British developers David and Simon Reuben, founders of Reuben Brothers, have reimagined the upper 6 floors of the famed building to create a rare collection of just 14 private residences—your own slice of history.
The tower itself retains its original Art Deco design by the prolific partners Schwartz and Gross, the minds behind some of New York’s greatest constructions. The elegant taste of this era withstands today, with original elements, such as the entry set with marble, limestone, and terracotta, lovingly restored.
Always a pull for Manhattan’s elite; now, you can join them.
Legacy Living: A Look Inside The Surrey Residences
The Surrey Hotel’s original grace shines through in its latest residences, thanks to the brilliance of the renowned BKSK Architects. Echoes of the building’s patrician heritage are evident throughout the magnificent homes, where the prewar flow of formal rooms is retained, with contemporary new development flourishes to support modern life and entertainment.
The materiality can only denote pure luxury, with fine marbles and European chevron floors forming the basis of your new home’s construction. Not to mention today’s fine comforts such as top-of-the-range Miele appliances.
