“This historic 44th St. hotel, built in 1905, continues to impress and enchant with art-deco design blending seamlessly with modern conveniences. Equipped with an excellent restaurant, spa and sauna, and a personal butler as standard, the Chatwal offers a personal and bespoke service for every guest.”

Hotel review

The Chatwal Hotel in Manhattan exudes an easy air of luxury with exquisitely casual aplomb. Guests are met by the grand facade, first constructed in 1905 to serve as the home of The Lambs Club, an exclusive members-only bar for the high society of New York's theatre scene that once counted Fred Astaire, Charlie Chaplin and Dwight Eisenhower among its patrons. Guests at the Chatwell can immerse themselves in this history in The Lambs Club restaurant on-site. Opulent and richly decorated, the restaurant serves a well-received Colorado lamb T-bone chops dish with grilled squash and lamb ragu.

Elsewhere, there is a well-equipped sauna and spa offering massage and wellness treatments. The rooms are comfortable and draped with thick curtains, throws and carpets. A retro, deco style pervades throughout with neutral tones contrasting against glittering bathrooms, stocked with luxury toiletries and modern amenities.

The lobby evokes the timeless style of Broadway and of its illustrious past patrons, decked elegantly with art-deco pieces. Guests are allocated a personal butler upon arrival, 24-hour room service and a complementary car service, the Chatwal’s attentive service team are experts in hospitality and make each stay a personal, tailored and luxury experience.

The Chatwal

With only 76 rooms, this jewel in the Theatre District proves that great things come in small packages. The stunning Art Deco interiors, personalised service, and a destination restaurant and bar by Geoffrey Zakarian establish The Chatwal as one of Midtown's preferred choices for luxury.

The Chatwal, a Luxury Collection Hotel, New York

A top-to-bottom refit of the Lambs Club, the historic thespian hangout in the heart of Midtown’s Theater District, by designer Thierry Despont has turned this actors’ den into a sleek 76-room hotel with Art Deco lines and ocean liner-inspired fittings that hark back to travel’s bygone eras. (The wonderfully accommodating service throughout—is there anything the house butler can’t do?—is another throwback we love.) A small but richly furnished lobby gives way to the Lambs Club restaurant, an 80-seater from chef Geoffrey Zakarian where the focal point would be the original stone fireplace if it weren’t for the story lines unfolding at the other tables. Rooms are fitted with gorgeous steamer trunk–like wardrobes and desk-vanity combos in chocolate leather, while bathrooms come with wall-to-wall mirrors and rain showers stocked with custom Asprey amenities. Guests can find a break at the cozy Lambs Club Bar, hidden away above the lobby, and at the underground spa, with a clever "endless" lap pool and small gym—probably the only place on the property where you can let them see you sweat.
