NEW YORK CITY
The Warwick New York Hotel proudly announces the unveiling of its five new specialty suites designed to celebrate the vibrant spirit of the Old Hollywood era and the innovators of today’s cultural landscape. Originally built as a romantic hideaway for screen siren Marion Davies and publishing tycoon William Randolph Hearst, the Warwick New York Hotel set out to capture the glamour of the lovers’ bygone era with the aptly named Randolph Suite and Marion Suite along with the Jane Suite, Follies Suite and Modern Art Suite.
At 977-square-feet, the Randolph Suite is the largest of the collection and draws inspiration from shades of newsprint with a pallet of deep navy offset by touches of black and grey. Striking gold accents call back to William Randolph Heart’s opulent tastes and infuse a regal air into the suite. Befitting of a successful tycoon such as Hearst, the suite features a selection of stately, oversized furniture and a well-appointed boardroom.
As a tip of the hat to the hotel’s theatrical neighbor, the Follies Suite was designed to recreate the razzle-dazzle spectacle that was the Ziegfeld Follies. The suite’s color palate of deep purple and gold calls back to the era of flappers and showgirls and gives guests a true feeling of the old New York glamour.
Formerly a Follies Girl herself, Marion Davies’s vibrant spirit is the driving force behind the Marion Suite – as well as the Warwick New York Hotel as a whole. A wonderfully independent woman, the suite’s design aims to capture her spirit with bold contrasts of black and white that elicit a glamorous Art Deco feel.
Overflowing with her signature brand of bombshell sensuality, the Jane Suite captures the provocative energy of Hollywood starlet Jane Russell. A gilded frame displays a 1950’s swimsuit in the main foyer, giving guests a taste of the pinup-style glamour that lies ahead. Further inside, the suite’s walls are bedecked with portraits of Russell and Marilyn Monroe along with a series of figurative paintings that recall the flawless curves that both women made iconic. A four-poster bed serves as the bedroom’s focal point and is covered in soft white linens.
The Modern Art Suite looks not to the past but to the future of New York’s art and culture drawing inspiration from the Museum of Modern Art. The suite is filled with carefully curated selections from the industry’s most quintessential figures that forged the path for today’s modern artists. The suite has a home-gallery feel with a variety of different frames displaying works from Warhol, Miro, Pollock and Jasper Johns.
The hotel features 426 spacious guestrooms that also include 67 suites, two unique dining destinations – Randolph’s Bar & Lounge and Murals on 54 – as well as 8,000 square-feet of stately meeting and banquet spaces; it is located at 54th Street and 6th Avenue.
