Considered Moments, One Guest At A Time
Nestled in Manhattan's Upper East Side, The Surrey hotel is both a familiar destination and an unexpected delight. We offer our guests authentic service, cultural inspiration and singular experiences at every visit.
Exceptional moments at The Surrey extend well beyond your accommodations. Whether you prefer entertaining in the private roof garden, indulging in a relaxing massage at the Spa or dining at your favorite table at Café Boulud, personality and personal preferences inform our service from the moment you make your reservation.
Built in 1926 as a residence hotel, the original Surrey was home to many of New York's most eccentric celebrities over the years. JFK. Bette Davis. Claudette Colbert. Famous faces who recognized the allure of exceptional, discreet service. In re-creating The Surrey, we collaborated with acclaimed interior designer Lauren Rottet and paid special attention to maintaining the integrity of this history while modernizing what has become New York's most intimate address. Rottet's inspiration was a New York City townhouse passed down through the generations, the keeper of a lifetime of memories.

Room Amenities
Dining
CAFÉ BOULUD
Inspired by Chef Daniel Boulud’s unique twist on time-honored French cuisine prepared with fine seasonal American ingredients, Café Boulud celebrates New York’s café society with award-winning results. The restaurant’s accolades include a star in the Michelin Guide and a 3-star review in The New York Times.
The restaurant’s menu reflects Boulud’s four culinary muses: la tradition, classic French cuisine; la saison, seasonal delicacies; le potager, the vegetable garden; and le voyage, the flavors of world cuisines.
Both an exquisite fine dining destination and a neighborhood treasure, Café Boulud is not to be missed.
Entertainment
BAR PLEIADES
The perfect place to meet, entertain or simply people-watch on Madison Avenue, Bar Pleiades is the newest addition to the Café Boulud family. Named for the beloved French restaurant frequented by Manhattan’s art world elite of the 1970s and 80s, Bar Pleaides combines the elegantly attentive service of a fine hotel bar with the distinctive cocktail menu of a talented mixologist.
Bartender Cameron Bogue has earned a reputation for working with seasonal market ingredients and house-brewed accents. While classic in spirit, his signature cocktails take their direction from the renowned Café Boulud just next door.
The bar and lounge décor – inspired by both fashion icon Coco Chanel and the elegant lines of a 1930s Art Deco bar cart – features black and white lacquer finishes, French doors and quilted walls, inviting seclusion in intimate niches. Settle into a banquette and simply relax.
Perched peacefully on the 17th floor overlooking the Upper East Side and Central Park, the private rooftop garden at The Surrey is a true oasis. A tranquil, elegant setting for relaxing, a romantic evening or for business entertaining, the seasonal garden features butler service for beverages, and anything else you may require.

“Expatriate New Yorker truly enjoyed this hotel even on the upper east side”
Really a class act at this hotel. The location is great and the service without reproach. The concierge was not s deal-seeker and came up with rates far higher than they should be if one tried to arrange things personally. The whole experience was excellent, however.
“diamond in the ruff”
what an awesome hotel! we absolutely loved it.. excellent room.. sizy, beautifully decorated, clean and charming. the staff was phenomenal. very helpful and thoughtful. they surprised my husband and me with a birthday cake as we were in NYC to celebrate our birthdays. they had a great lounge as well. the only thing i wished they offered was coffee in the morning. there was not a coffee shop nearby and the only way to get coffee was through room service. having coffee available in the lobby would have really polished off the experience. i would highly recommend this hotel!
“One of New York's Finest!!!”
Amazing rooms, appointed in every detail, attentive staff, highly desirable location. Would definitely go back, and soon! I've stayed at almost every midtown and Times Square hotel but only a few of the UES inventory. This blew Midtown and Times Square away! Will stay here every time I go back! Only thing I would recommend to new travelers is not to take a cab from the hotel-front curb during any peak travel times. Walk one block north or south and catch the eastbound streets over to park or madison. You'll avoid heavily congested 5th avenue, at least for a few blocks. The VERY easy subway stop at 77th and Lexington is also extremely convenient, only three blocks away. Makes an extra few minutes difference in time when running late. This hotel is truly 5 stars and I can't rave enough about it.
“The Surrey is the Hotel”
Not only is the hotel top notch but the staff was also exceptional. Every question and request was answered immediately and everyone was friendly. The location cannot be beat, next to Central park and 5th ave. I highly recommend this hotel
“All lovely but for one small matter”
Everything was superb, except for one matter: no coffee nor breakfast available from 10 to 12 AM, as the (superb) service at Cafe Boulud ceases then. Really an anomaly in the otherwise great service.
“A haven in NYC”
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this lovely hotel. It lived up to all expectations. The staff were uniformly pleasant and helpful. Whilst the restaurant was not cheap for breakfast the food was exceptional and considering it costs almost as much to eat bad food was well worth it. The only minor gripe I would have is that the walls are definitetly not sound proof but it is an older building. The comfort of the room and the truly great bathroom (no bath but I am a shower person anyway and hate showering in a bath) more than made up for it.
“Wonderful hotel”
Excellent location; exceeded our expectations.
“Comfort, elegance and excellent service”
Location, comfort and nice people
“A lovely hotel that makes every moment fantastic”
I will of course visit again. This is the best hotel in NYC!
“Lovely, Lovely, Lovely”
Hotel is small boutique with very personal service. I have no complains as everything a perfect!! Area is nice and safe, close to the park, the MET, Subway stations and fab restaurants.
