A newly renovated full bathroom with a free-standing shower and separate soaking tub lies adjacent to both bedrooms, conveniently serving each one.

Building History:

Considered the "grandest hotel in Manhattan," The Ansonia featured majestic ballrooms, restaurants decorated in the style of Louis XIV, a palm court, tearooms, cafes, a bank, a barbershop, tailor, writing rooms, Turkish baths, and the world's largest indoor swimming pool.

Notable long-term hotel residents included the likes of Babe Ruth and boxer Jack Dempsey. There was also a working farm on the roof and a separate cattle elevator, which permitted access to dairy cows. In 1992, the Ansonia was converted into condominium apartments and carefully restored to maintain the sophistication, romance and luxury that the building radiates.
