The Royalton Hotel Description

In 2007, Royalton proudly re-opened its doors onto midtown Manhattan, re-thought, re-imagined, but still an icon. Morgans commissioned Roman and Williams, the New York design firm, to re-create Royalton's legendary lobby as a crossroads for international travelers and the New York elite.

The design simultaneously sophisticated and complex juxtaposes an icy cast-glass vestibule and brutalist steel and brass furnishings with soft suede upholstery, thick leather walls and hide-covered chairs to create a dark, sexy and luxurious space. Design and architectural details include a mammoth floor-to-ceiling hand forged cast bronze fireplace, a twenty-foot screen that was once part of the facade of a building in France and hand-upholstered leather walls done in a pattern reminiscent of African tribal art.

Charlotte Macaux reinvents Philippe Starck's bold original design, delivering high style, luxury and comfort all in one. Designed with the discerning traveler in mind, this room features all new furnishings and an exquisitely pleasing palette. Built-in banquettes run along the room, perfect for lounging. The bathroom is a sparkling and invigorating space that refreshes and restores, enhanced with lavish MALIN+GOETZ amenities.
