Palace Hotel

Palace Hotel - overview.

Lovingly restored down to the doorknobs, this legendary hotel is 1 block from the Financial District and 3 blocks from Union Square.
The 552 large rooms feature 14-foot ceilings, down bedding and Egyptian-cotton sheets, chairs with ottomans, and work desks.
The eight-story hotel has a sky-lit pool and spa, and three acclaimed restaurants, including the glass-domed Garden Court.

Traditional - One king or two double beds with down bedding and Egyptian-cotton sheets. Bathrooms have tiled floors, marble vanities, and phones.

What to expect:

Amenity highlights: Only-at-the-Palace experiences include swimming in a glass-atrium enclosed pool and spa, high tea or brunch in the legendary Garden Court, live jazz in the famous bar, or dinner at one of the fine restaurants: Kyo-ya for traditional Japanese cuisine, and Maxfield’s for classic American dishes with California flair.
Insider tip: For a behind-the-scenes look at the history of the hotel—including scandal, intrigue, corruption, suicide, earthquakes, murder, and famous denizens ranging from Oscar Wilde to Enrico Caruso—guests may take a City Guides walking tour that begins at the Palace. Information is available at the front desk.

Garden Court - The hotel’s former carriage entrance, covered by a stained-glass dome, is an official historic landmark and considered to be one of the world’s most beautiful dining rooms. Gleaming with crystal chandeliers, marble columns, and ornate gilding, the Garden Court serves breakfast, lunch, and Sunday brunch, but is especially known for its afternoon high tea service.
Maxfield’s - The clubby wood-paneled dining room at the back of the Pied Piper Bar, open for lunch and dinner, serves classic American dishes such as New York steak and fresh grilled fish, as well as pastas and innovative salads.
Kyo-ya - One of the city’s most acclaimed and elegant Japanese restaurants, Kyo-ya offers a wide array of sushi and sashimi, as well as hot and cold appetizers, and traditional dinners. Of special note are the kaiseki dinners, an ancient tradition in which courses are designed according to sequence, balance of color, texture, and flavor, and beauty of presentation. Open for lunch and dinner.
