A word from the Concierge

The Chatwal through the Concierge's eyes

Here, you are not just booking a location in Times Square. You are choosing a building from 1905, shielded from the noise by its own heritage status. The Chatwal boasts two rare official protections in New York: New York City Landmark and listing on the National Register of Historic Places. This detail transforms the experience. You enter a house that has retained its theatrical weight, with Stanford White as the original signature and The Lambs as the backdrop. Inside, the scale remains intimate. With only 76 keys, including 29 suites and 47 rooms, this makes a significant difference in this saturated area. The service follows the same philosophy. A personal butler is standard, room service operates 24/7, and the concierge is adept at handling last-minute requests without unnecessary fuss. For dining, be sure to reserve at The Lambs Club. Michael White anchors an American table here that avoids the pitfall of the anonymous hotel restaurant. In short, The Chatwal is perfect for those who desire Midtown without the Midtown mechanics: a concise inventory, impeccable service, and a serious commitment to its heritage.

Why choose The Chatwal?

Absolute 5 star experience. The staff was amazing, kind, professional, and luxe. That applies to those working at the front door, room service, the front desk, the bar, and the dinner on site at The Lambs Club. Our…

I rarely leave bad reviews and was very much looking forward to leaving a 5-star on the Chatwal. Unfortunately, our stay was far from a 5-star experience. Maybe we are just spoiled to Four Seasons and Ritz Carlton…
