The Surrey, a Grande Dame Hotel of the Upper East Side, Makes a Splashy Return

Following a change of ownership and management, The Surrey has already become a neighborhood hotspot.

Renovating in New York City—the land of a thousand permits—is always difficult. Renovating a hotel building like The Surrey, however, is almost impossible: at a century old, it requires both official approval from the landmark commission and unofficial approval from the public. Plenty of New Yorkers have memories of the hotel’s previous iteration, when the clientele included John F. Kennedy, Bette Davis, and Claudette Colbert.

While those projects embraced maximalism, with The Surrey, there’s a sense of restraint. Color palettes are muted, with pops of color mostly arriving courtesy of the art on the walls. Curated with help from Paris’s Visto Gallery, it includes works by George Condo, Robert Mapplethorpe, and the Brooklyn-based contemporary artist Ethan Cook.
