About
The Lombardy stands out among New York hotels for its storied past and spacious suites. Built in 1926, the building was originally owned by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, actress Marion Davies. The ballroom, now home to American Cut Midtown, hosted the first brunch ever served in New York City. Past guests include Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Today, it offers 49 rooms and 80 suites, many with marble foyers, walk-in closets, and kitchenettes. Amenities include twice-daily housekeeping, a 24/7 fitness room, and complimentary bottled water. The hotel is dog friendly.
The Lombardy sits on the East Side near Park and Lexington Avenues, a quiet but central location. Guests often praise the helpful staff and the convenience of in-room kitchens. For a steak dinner or a drink, the on-site American Cut Midtown bar and lounge is a natural stop. The vibe is upscale yet relaxed, drawing a mixed LGBTQ+ and straight clientele.
