Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein began their collaboration on Oklahoma! in Suite 2100, now a 1,000-square-foot namesake suite with a wraparound terrace. Warren & Wetmore, the architects of Grand Central Terminal, designed this 1926 Classical Revival hotel as part of their larger Terminal City vision, and the 17th-floor St. Patrick's Terrace still gives every guest a close-up of the cathedral's twin spires.

About Omni Berkshire Place
- Broadway star Ethel Merman lived at the Berkshire for years, part of the hotel's early life as a residential address for artists and socialites.
- The hotel reopened in November 2021 after Omni reversed a pandemic-era decision to close it permanently.
- Its 398 rooms include 44 suites, unusually generous proportions that recall the building's original residential ambitions.
- Entry-level rooms start at 270 sq ft (25 m²).
History
Warren & Wetmore completed the Berkshire Place Hotel in 1926 as part of the architectural orbit around Grand Central Terminal. Long-term residents gave it the feel of a Midtown apartment house, and Rodgers and Hammerstein began working together here in 1942.
The setting
The hotel stands on East 52nd Street between Madison and Fifth avenues, with St. Patrick's Cathedral close enough to fill the view from its guest terrace.
