Hotel Wales

1295 Madison Avenue

New York, New York 10128

The cultural heartbeat of the United States resonates loudly out of New York City. The Big Apple is home to literally hundreds of museums, the bright lights of Broadway, Madison Square Gardens and breathtaking works of architecture. New York City has something for everyone, both young and old, no matter what time of year it is. In a city where hotels are a dime a dozen, travelers can well-afford to be discerning when choosing accommodations. For those who prefer a more intimate hotel experience, the Hotel Wales is perfect. Boasting only 86 guest rooms, 41 of which are suites, guests of this true boutique style hotel are guaranteed impeccable service rather than getting lost in the hustle and bustle as often occurs at larger, less personal hotels. In addition to the Hotel Wales' obvious charm and quaintness, the hotel boasts an exclusive address in the Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side. Not only is the building a New York City historic landmark, it is surrounded by some of the most celebrated and cherished museums in the world. Known as Museum Mile, the Hotel Wales is in walking distance of the Guggenheim, the Jewish Museum and the Museum of Modern Art.

A Boutique Style Hotel

The guest rooms at the Hotel Wales absolutely exude Old World charm. A renovation project in 2000 left this hundred year old hotel more glamorous than ever. Classic accents such as oak wood molding, high ceilings, bright exposures and rich, gorgeous furniture will leave guests wondering if they have slipped into another era. The many fireplaces, although decorative, add greatly to the overall warmth of the Hotel Wales and the sweet scent of flowers is always in the air as there are always vases filled with fresh bouquets. Guests of the hotel also enjoy spectacular views of the cityscape and world famous Central Park.
