Carnegie Suite

The Carnegie

The Carnegie is a room that understands performance. On the eighth floor of the northern elevation, the principal salon's three floor-to-ceiling windows frame Carnegie Hall at close range — the arched windows of the main hall, the ornamental brickwork, the green copper roof catching morning and evening light in entirely different ways. The ceiling of the salon is the suite's primary architectural statement: original Beaux-Arts plasterwork friezes — acanthus, lyre, and theatrical mask — restored over eleven months by a specialist conservator to their original gilded programme. The walls are hung with antique concert programmes, signed photographs, and architectural drawings of the hall sourced from a New York auction over three years. The Vermont Danby marble bathroom — white stone against a floor of Black Marquina — positions its freestanding soaking tub to face the window and the hall beyond. A concert-quality Steinway Model B in the salon, tuned weekly, is available for guests on request.
