ABOUT THE CARLTON HOTEL
The Carlton, an Autograph Collection hotel, blends old world luxury and Beaux-Arts flourishes, with stylish modernism. The Carlton hotel is managed by Gemstone Hotels & Resorts, LLC, and features one of the city's most beautiful hotel lobbies. The vaulted ceilings, marbled floors, floor-to-ceiling suede paneled walls; soothing waterfall and rich mahogany frame the lobby. Originally designed by Harry Allen Jacobs, and completed in 1904 as The Seville Hotel, the Carlton serves as a historic reminder of New York's elegant past. An inspired fusion of old-world elegance with distinct contemporary energy and glamour, the century-old Carlton's blend of historic and modern design perfectly captures the city's spirit. The Carlton is the second New York City hotel to join the Autograph Collection, a growing ensemble of hotels selected for their distinctive style and ability to provide exclusive experiences to guests. Millesime, deriving from the French word for vintage, is the new restaurant in the Carlton Hotel. An organic collaboration not just by namesake, Millesime is built within the historically landmarked details known in the space, including the exquisite 1904 Tiffany-style glass dome skylight and the extraordinary mosaic floor. Millesime, accessible from the Carlton hotel's lobby, exists on two floors and offers a menu which draws its inspiration from the classic seafood dishes found throughout France complimented by a variety of specialty cocktails. www.carltonhotelny.com.
