The Carlton is New York's newest grand old hotel. Elegant beaux-arts architecture is the hallmark of The Carlton, located in the shadow of the Empire State Building, minutes from sightseeing, fabulous shopping and major business addresses. The location is perfect for business or leisure. "A multimillion-dollar restoration is scheduled for completion in late Fall 2002". However, the guestrooms have already been refurbished, accented with beautiful rich wood furnishings and soft supple fabrics to reflect four-star, four-diamond standards.

A new building, adjacent to the original landmark building, will house the new atrium lobby with three-story waterfall, European style health club and a four-star restaurant and bar. The address will then become 88 Madison Avenue. Many rooms have spectacular views of the Empire State Building or Madison Avenue. The hotel is easy walking distance to fine dining, shopping and entertainment.
