Information about Carlyle Hotel

The Carlyle Hotel is a luxury hotel located at 35 East 76th Street in the Upper East Side area of New York City. The hotel, designed in Art Deco style and named after Scottish essayist Thomas Carlyle, was built by Moses Ginsberg, maternal grandfather of Rona Jaffe. The hotel opened in 1931, the year Jaffe was born.

A cooperative with 180 rental units and 60 privately-owned suites, it is one of the fifteen hotels owned by Rosewood Hotels & Resorts. The Carlyle was designed by architects Bien & Prince and originally opened as a residential hotel.

The hotel's Café Carlyle has featured a number of well-known jazz performers - notably George Feyer from 1955-1968, and Bobby Short from 1968-2004. Woody Allen and his jazz band have been playing weekly at the café since 1996. The Cafe Carlyle is noted for the murals by Marcel Vertes.

In its Bemelmans Bar, the hotel features a mural entitled "Central Park", the only surviving publicly accessible artwork by Ludwig Bemelmans, the author of the Madeline children's books. Presidents Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter and Reagan all stayed at the Carlyle while in office.

The hotel is particularly identified with President John F. Kennedy, who owned an apartment on the 34th floor for the ten years prior to his death. He stayed at the apartment in a well-publicized visit for a few days just prior to his inauguration in January 1961.
