In the city where your address is everything, the Warwick has everyone talking. Built by William Randolph Hearst in 1927 for his celebrity friends, the hotel is an oasis of European-style elegance in midtown Manhattan. The celebrity secret of the hotel is that many stars like to stay at the Warwick. The Beatles always booked the Warwick because the lobby is small. This means fewer autograph seekers and onlookers and a quicker escape into the elevators, if need be. Furthermore, the suites are enormous and are laid out like apartments, some even have wrap-around terraces nestled right into the cityscape. Cary Grant lived in the Warwick with one such apartment for 12 years. The hotel's residential nature provides another secret. Because it was originally designed as a hotel for " friends and family, " the hotel has very large rooms with spacious closets. Our international staff prides itself on immediate attention to special requests. Our multilingual staff, and adjacent garage, ensure guests enjoy the best of the traditional and modern.
