The design of elegant guest rooms is reminiscent of the classic design of nobility houses with all typical attributes of that style. Small coffee tables, lamps with magnificent lampshades, landscape paintings in posh frames, and furniture made of elegant dark wood – these elements create the atmosphere of a true aristocratic luxury. Guests are always welcome to relax in the library that comes with colorful antique furniture and has an interesting collection of books.

Connoisseurs of traditions of the past will hardly find a more suitable hotel than Warwick New York . The eye-catching historical building, which is currently occupied by the hotel, was built in the beginning of the 20th century.

However, a rich collection of artworks that date back to the beginning of the 20th century is considered a true gem of this excellent hotel.
