The style and class of The Carlyle Hotel and Cafe Carlyle epitomize the historical upper east side neighborhood that surrounds it.
 |
| This area of the Upper East Side is known world wide. |
The boutiques and shops on Madison Avenue, Park Avenue with it's ornate central island, and Fifth Avenue, Central Park and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, make it obvious to the discerning person that though understated, this is an opulent community.
The area includes many embassies, museums, galleries and private libraries.

| Boak & Paris, the architects of The Carlyle, designed this building. |
Many of the buildings have been Landmarked so the streets have an aesthetic consistency. As you walk along the neighborhood you sense the style of the earlier time period when these buildings were build for the upper class of their day. Keeping up with the times the buildings have been renovated and restored with an eye towards preservation.
One such building by the same architectural firm that designed The Carlyle and many other classic buildings, is on East 78th Street between Madison Avenue and Park Avenue.
The gracious lobby has been totally restored and the apartments have been gut renovated and reconstructed. Much of the original detail is preserved, yet the apartments are now totally modern with new kitchen appliances, bathroom fixtures, climate control, wiring, etc. As always there is a doorman and concierge service and includes a laundry room. Well behaved pets are welcome.

Gramercy is the neighborhood surrounding the petite private Gramercy Park, between 21st and 18th streets and Third avenue and Park Avenue South. The name comes from the Dutch words meaning swamp nd knife, because of the shape of the swap that was originally at the spot. Later it became the Gramercy Farm and in 1833, to preserve some open space as the city expanded northward on Manhattan, it was purchased and landscaped into a garden park.
