STANFORD
HOTEL
55 W 44TH STREET , NEW
YORK
The City Club is a sleek
luxury hotel in Midtown
Manhattan, tucked neatly
between the Times Square
theater district and
Fifth Avenue shopping.
Emerging from the
building's storied
limestone facade, which
once housed an exclusive
social club, guests may
venture via Town Car or
foot to Manhattan's
prestigious restaurants
and venues.
Though discrete and
personable in every
regard, the City Club is
not a boutique. Hotel
owner and self-described
"eternal host"
Jeff Klein avoids the
tired cliché surrounding
the b-word. If there was
ever a distinction to be
made between the fleeting
panache of boutique
hotels and the timeless
echelon of
sophistication, the City
Club makes it apparent.
Indeed, the City Club
defies the boutique
stereotype with
aspirations of
immortality. Notable
designer Jeffrey
Bilhuber, whose clients
include David Bowie and
Michael Douglas,
orchestrated the hotel's
interior. The City Club's
elegantly styled lobby
was designed not to
impress, but to entice on
a diminutive scale. The
typically intimidating
and cold expanse of
marble and stone found
all too often in New York
has been supplanted for
an intimate
tchotchkie-laden sitting
area with inviting sofas
on a designer cork floor.
World renowned chef
Daniel Boulud's newest
restaurant, DB Bistro
Moderne, reinvents the
traditional European
bistro as a contemporary
culinary jewel box. The
DB offers room service
and dining for all meals.
The nine-story City
Club offers 65
guestrooms, each
featuring exquisite
designs. The City Club
maintains an all-original
art collection throughout
the property. Premium
bedding with
320-thread-count linens
permits sleep in a city
alleged to have none.
Entertainment centers
boast CD and DVD
playback. Televisions
with premium channels are
masked by two-way
mirrors, which lose their
reflective opacity upon
the click of a remote.
The bathrooms, complete
with cascading showers,
are decked in rich
chocolate-marble.
Guestrooms offer
complimentary high-speed
Internet access. The City
Club appeals to
sophisticated
professionals and touring
visitors who value style
on-par with luxury.
