The Carlyle Hotel

About This Location

The Carlyle, the legendary Upper East Side hotel known for its Bemelmans Bar and its association with old-money New York, was referenced in Gossip Girl as the ultimate symbol of understated luxury. This Art Deco landmark on Madison Avenue has hosted everyone from JFK to Princess Diana, and its discreet, white-glove service embodies the kind of quiet wealth that the Waldorf and Archibald families represent. Bemelmans Bar, with its whimsical Ludwig Bemelmans murals, is a must-visit for cocktails in the Gossip Girl neighborhood.
