- 2 Lexington Avenue, Gramercy Park Hotel
- Designed by Julian Schnabel
- Hotel guests and reservations only
- Evenings only
The Rose Bar sits inside the Gramercy Park Hotel — Julian Schnabel handled the interiors, the velvet booths and the Basquiat hold the wall, the format runs as hotel guests and reservations only with a strict door. The room is the most adult cocktail bar on Gramercy Park and the only credible after-dinner address in the quarter.
Book the reservation a week ahead, take the corner booth, accept the dress code. The cocktails are precise; the room is more so. The address is the right answer for the after-dinner that should not be a club and the only Gramercy bar that handles the brief.
The bar Gramercy holds.
