Plotting Your Next Staycation? The Surrey Is Now Open On Madison Ave

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY – The Surrey, a luxury hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, has reopened at East 76th Street and Madison Avenue.

The 16-story building features 70 guest rooms and 30 suites, all redesigned by Martin Brudnizki Design Studios. The suites, some of which are inspired by Central Park’s bridges, feature “luxurious beds, opulent bathrooms,” and even – for a price – "dedicated butler service," according to a press release.

Interest piqued? Interiors feature Murano chandeliers and “bespoke furniture pieces,” and aesthetic choices throughout the hotel “add a rich, sensory dimension” to its public spaces.

The Surrey includes Miami club and restaurant Casa Tua’s first New York location, serving Mediterranean-inspired cuisine to guests and visitors alike (Casa Tua also includes a lounge and private members’ club).

The Surrey Spa – of course – joins the neighborhood as a wellness destination. The hotel has partnered with French lifestyle brand Sisley, known for its expertise in “Phyto-cosmetology,” an alchemy of “the finest plant-based ingredients [and] cutting-edge science.” Amenities include two treatment rooms, a sauna, a salt room, and a secluded outdoor terrace.

Operated by Corinthia Hotels and owned by the Reuben Brothers, who reportedly picked up The Surrey for $150 million in 2021, the hotel was once home to Café Boulud, which closed in 2021. It had operated in The Surrey since 1998.

Founded in Malta in 1968, Corinthia describes itself as having “pioneered” a new genre of hotel – the so-called ‘Grand Boutique’ – or a combination of the grande dame and the energy of a California-ish lifestyle boutique establishment.

From the original Corinthia Palace in Malta to hotels in London, Lisbon, and Budapest – as well as the new location on the Upper East Side – the company says its presently developing properties in Rome, Brussels, Bucharest, Doha, Riyadh, and a resort in the Maldives.
