Inspiring Interiors :: New York's Marlton Hotel

While flipping through this past issue of Travel & Leisure, I stumbled upon a photo of New York City's newly renovated historic Marlton Hotel.  The hotel, first built in 1900, was masterminded by Sean MacPherson, co-owner of New York's Bowery Hotel.  MacPherson was influenced by F. Scott Fitzgerald's postwar Paris, designing the hotel with Rosemary's "small hotel" from "Tender is the Night" in mind. 

I love how the modern light fixtures, surrealist art, and sculptural furniture provide a dynamic contrast against the herringbone wood floors, luxurious textiles, and classic bones of the historic Greenwich Village hotel.  And that penthouse terrace?  Sign me up!

  2. Another good place for a romantic getaway in Manhattan is the Soho Hotel, if you've never stayed there.
