I truly adore the chic decor and uptown panache of The Surrey . I had the pleasure of previewing the newly renovated hotel during a Net-a-Porter press event last month, and reminisced about its dove gray decor after running a post on Monique Lhuillier’s home similarly-hued home earlier this week… Simply stated, the hotel is gorgeous.
If you’re hosting an uptown wedding, it’s well worth considering this spot for your out-of-town guests. Take a look…
Sitting along a quiet Upper East Side block, the Surrey looks more like an inviting apartment building than a hotel… Many of the 190 guest rooms have private terraces with views of Central Park, but those without views can meander onto the rooftop garden, which affords gorgeous treetop views {and stunning pre-wedding photo opportunities}. 
Ah the bar… {always an important consideration for certain post-reception cocktails}. Bar Pleiades, brainchild of Cameron Bogue, sits along the hotel lobby and is known for it’s delish custom coktails. It also plays neighbor to in-house restaurant Cafe Boulud {yes, that’s Daniel Boulud’s elegant famed French restaurant}. Both dining options are impossibly polished and tre-uptown chic. 
The Spa at the Surrey is exceptional- the treatment rooms are soothingly dusted in the hotel’s signature dove gray, and furnished with luxe Darphin products. The polished simplicity is so perfect for pre-wedding pampering. 
All of The Surrey’s guest rooms are equally luxurious, with Duxiana beds, Sferra linens and a expansive pillow menu that puts most hotels to shame. Of course, special touches prevail, such as personalized stationery in every room and a photography collection by Jenny Holzer. 
The presidential suite is truly breathtaking. Swallowed in gorgeous tones of muted gray and creamy neutrals, the aesthetic is equally posh and soothing. The walls are adorned with fabulous art from Richard Serra and Cecily Brown. 
Stunning, is it not?! The Surrey is located at 20 East 76th Street. For a site visit, contact the hotel at 212.288.3700.
