Exceptional moments at The Surrey extend well beyond your accommodations. Whether you prefer entertaining in the private rooftop garden, indulging in a relaxing massage at the Spa or dining at your favorite table at Cafe Boulud, personality and personal preferences inform our service from the moment you make your reservation. Built in 1926 as a residence hotel, the original Surrey was home to many of New York’s most eccentric celebrities over the years. JFK. Betty Davis. Claudette Colbert. Famous faces who recognized the allure of exceptional, discreet service. In re-creating The Surrey, we collaborated with acclaimed interior designer Lauren Rottet and paid special attention to maintaining the integrity of this history while modernizing what has become New York's most intimate address. Rottet's inspiration was a New York City townhouse passed down through the generations, the keeper of a lifetime of memories.
