Lotte New York Palace 

A Madison Avenue landmark

The Lotte is prestigious, historic, and utterly charming.

The setting of the Lotte New York Palace is remarkable. Across the street is the iconic St Patrick’s Cathedral in all its glory. Architecturally beautiful (thanks to its neo-Italian Renaissance townhouse building) guests enter under a wrought iron arch, wander through a tree-dotted courtyard before stepping through arched-glass doors and into the inviting lobby. Here, attentive staff are on hand to lavish their attention and soothe the stresses of your journey away.
