4-star historic hotel in Midtown Manhattan, former residence for iconic writers
Hotel Overview & Historical Legacy
The Renwick occupies a building that once housed legendary writers and artists, and this creative legacy is woven into its decor. Located in the quieter Murray Hill neighborhood, the hotel sits between the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building. The 173 studio rooms feature art-inspired interiors that reference the building's literary past.
Dining & Bar Experience
The on-site restaurant serves wood-fired dishes inspired by global flavors, using locally sourced ingredients. The bar offers a selection of cocktails named after legendary authors such as Hemingway and Fitzgerald. The cozy bar environment draws both hotel guests and local residents, creating a neighborhood gathering spot.
Rooms & Accommodations
Each of the 173 studio rooms incorporates Art Deco design elements, including easel-inspired decor that nods to the building's artistic heritage. Mid-century aesthetics blend with artistic touches in the furnishings and color palette. Rooms provide views of the surrounding Murray Hill streets or the nearby skyscrapers.
Location & Accessibility
The hotel is 270 meters from Grand Central Terminal and 900 meters from the Empire State Building. Guests can walk to Bryant Park in under five minutes, and Times Square and Fifth Avenue shopping are within a ten-minute walk. The Murray Hill location offers a quieter alternative to the busiest tourist areas while keeping major attractions close.
Pet-Friendly & Additional Services
The hotel operates a pet-friendly policy, allowing guests to bring their dogs or cats. A 24-hour front desk, fitness center, and business facilities are available for traveler convenience. The bar also serves unique author-named cocktails that can be enjoyed without leaving the property.
