Not every say you get such a unique (and snug) studio listing in a hotel! Perfect pied a terre where you can enjoy the luxury and convenience of hotel living. Nicknamed “The Snug”, this unique space is available for short/long term, please inquire. Cozy and intimate, this gemütlich studio in the iconic Lombardy Hotel features antique and hand-sourced Edwardian /Arts & Crafts pieces. William Randolph Hurst, the great media mogul and inspiration for "Citizen Kane" built the gorgeous Lombardy Hotel as a Deco limestone fortress for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies (the inspiration for "Rosebud"). The Lombardy has been the New York residence of film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton and almost a century later still feels like a grand New York apartment house. While the tall oak wainscoting, oriental rugs, brocade drapes, and stained glass are unique to this room, even people with a taste for the modern can appreciate its ergonomic features: a drop-front Edwardian desk offers laptop surface and cabinet storage so you can unpack your clothes and/or store your suitcase in the closet (or underneath the secretary), the wall-mounted 52" flat-screen TV makes viewing from bed a breeze, and the seating area with two mohair Deco chairs features a coffee table that raises to dining-table height for enjoying your take-out meals and coffee. Truly one-of-a-kind!
