… theaters, Central Park, the business districts and world class designer boutiques and finest shops. New York is home to some of the world's most famous attractions, activities and events, many of which are within walking distance of "The New York Palace Hotel". The Palace's history began as the famous Villard Houses. Constructed in 1882, the hotel became known as The Villard Houses. One wing was built between 1979 and 1981. Over the next century, the residences would change from private homes to offices for the Archdiocese, and later, corporate offices for internationally known companies. In the mid-1970's, the Archdiocese of New York, owners of the land, cleared the way for a hotel development that would incorporate these unique homes. The hotel opened in 1980 as The Hemsley Palace. In 1993 the hotel changed ownership and again underwent a comprehensive multi-million dollar restoration and refurbishment program. The New York Palace, in midtown Manhattan, successfully merges a contemporary 55-story hotel tower with the historic Villard Houses. The Palace is known for luxury, five star accommodations with spacious rooms, stunning views and unparalleled and personalized service.
