New York City, New York, United States · NH Collection · Accessible Luxury
The Fraternity Clubs Building gives this 288-room NH Collection a much better backstory than its corporate Madison Avenue name suggests. Murgatroyd & Ogden completed the Renaissance Revival club residence in 1923 for sixteen Greek-letter fraternities and the Cornell Club, with squash courts, Turkish baths, and a roof garden. A major conversion reopened it in 2021 with two double-height lobbies, while the old setback towers now hold suites with direct Empire State Building views.
- 288 rooms
- Opened 2021
- Neighborhood: Murray Hill
