The New York Palace Hotel

Midtown Manhattan’s Villard Mansion serves as an icon of opulence from the Gilded Age—and the entryway to The New York Palace Hotel. The mansion bears all the hallmarks of the Italian Renaissance, from its glittering reception area to Gilt, a Michelin-starred restaurant. Fresh from a recent renovation, the seven newly re-created sunlit salons of the mansion host some of the city’s most talked-about meetings, dinners, and receptions.

The hotel, in total, offers 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space for events. Business presentations, incentives, and events of all kinds run flawlessly on a regular basis thanks to the hotel’s team of seasoned professionals. The conference services staff maintain a sense of ownership of not only the details, but the long-term impact of the meeting’s success as well.

Seamlessly blended into the mansion, a modern 55-story tower holds 899 rooms and suites and a 7,000-square-foot fitness center and spa. At the top of the hotel, four Triplex suites offer accommodations without peer in Manhattan. Each spans three floors and comes with a full kitchen and dining room, internal private elevator, and a backyard-size terrace overlooking the best of the Big Apple. They accommodate VIP events for 2 to 125 guests in exquisite style.

In the heart of midtown Manhattan, adorned by a historic-mansion entry and modern room amenities, new world elegance meets old world opulence at every turn. There are no packages available at this time. There are no hot dates at this time. Posted May 20, 2009 by Elite News Team
Subscribe - RSS Feed May 6, 2009 (New York, NY) The New York Palace hotel announces the arrival of Palace Gate, a brilliant new outdoor lounge in the hotel’s courtyard in the heart of midtown Manhattan. Palace Gate celebrates cocktails and bar dining at its finest, all in the open air and under the stars in the middle of one of the most exciting cities in the world.

Mere steps within the hotel’s wrought iron gates and wrapped in the architectural splendor of the Villard Mansion, lies the beautiful and spacious Palace Gate. Opening in June 2009 for cocktails, wine and a full bar menu from the Two Star Michelin team at GILT, Palace Gate is the perfect spot for an early or late evening bite: a place where New Yorkers and destination diners alike can meet in a relaxed outdoor atmosphere. Guests can indulge in the spirited bar menu of modern American and comfort driven dishes from Executive Chef Justin Bogle, a perfect array of tempting appetizers and shareable plates.

Dive into an order of decadent Truffle Fries, crispy potatoes showered with shaved truffles and a garlic herb dipping sauce or treat yourself to The Gilt Burger, topped with aged cheddar, house-made pickles, crispy onion rings and house-cured bacon. Chef Bogle also presents a fun hand at classic Chicken Wings, with Yuzu Kosho, pickled vegetables paired with a sesame aioli.

On the sweeter side, Executive Pastry Chef David Carmichael takes his cues from summer, introducing his take on the classic Knickerbocker Glory Sundae. Enjoy layers of homemade wild strawberry and vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, crushed raspberry and amarena cherries. The sundae is drizzled with peach melba syrup, topped with rose scented whipped cream, finished with cashew studded milk chocolate cigarettes; one truly has to see and taste it to believe it!

The cocktail program at Palace Gate delivers innovative takes on both classics and modern libations. From the legendary Pimm’s Cup (Pimm’s No. 1 Cup, Lemonade, Granny Smith Apple, Ginger Beer, and Cucumber) to the smoky Mariposa (Sombra Mezcal, Fresh Lime, and Candied Violets), each cocktail is crafted with premium spirits and the freshest ingredients. The Palace Gate experience is filled with opportunities to pair exceptional wines from Wine Director Patrick Cappiello’s 8,000 bottle cellar. With a variety of 20 selections by the glass, guests are sure to find the perfect complement to every occasion.

Open 4:00-10:30pm daily, Palace Gate is located in the courtyard at The New York Palace at 455 Madison Avenue in Manhattan. For more information, please call 212-891-8100 or visit www.palacegatenyc.com.
