The Wolseley Hotels launch with flagship property in New York | News
The Wolseley Hotels today announces its global launch, with the first property opening in New York City in early 2027.
Located just steps from Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, The Wolseley Hotel New York will be the brand’s first hotel in the world and make New York the flagship destination for The Wolseley Hotels. The opening introduces The Wolseley restaurant and bar to the United States for the first time, putting one of London’s most celebrated restaurants on an international stage.
The hotel is located in the landmark building at 130 West 44th Street, originally built in 1905 as the clubhouse for The Lambs Club and designed by the renowned architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. Long associated with Broadway’s creative community and New York’s cultural elite, the address remains an enduring symbol of the city’s theatrical and artistic heritage.
Combining British sophistication with the cultural energy and architectural backdrop of New York, the property will herald a new chapter of refined hospitality in one of the most dynamic cities in the world.
Taking luxury to the next level in Midtown Manhattan
The Wolseley Hotel New York will feature 76 lavish rooms and suites, carefully designed to combine classic elegance with modern restraint. The design combines refined interiors, thoughtful layouts and bespoke craftsmanship, expressing the brand’s distinctive identity while delivering an effortless, contemporary luxury experience.
The heart of the property will be The Wolseley New York – the brand’s first location in the United States and its culinary flagship for North America. The restaurant acts as the social hub of the hotel and will continue the grand café tradition and refined European sensibility of The Wolseley Piccadilly, with all-day dining, signature cocktails and a lively yet sophisticated atmosphere.
Complementing the restaurant will be an intimate speakeasy bar at basement level, designed to provide a more discreet and atmospheric setting, along with a completely redesigned wellness and wellbeing center that reflects the brand’s commitment to holistic luxury and guest comfort.
A legacy reinterpreted for a global audience
The Wolseley Hotels draws inspiration from its London namesake – renowned for its Art Deco elegance, refined hospitality and enduring appeal as a meeting place for cultural, business and civic leaders.
In New York, this legacy will be reinterpreted through a distinctly cosmopolitan lens: sophisticated yet welcoming, grand yet intimate. Guests will experience discreet, highly personalized service, combined with a vibrant culinary program that anchors the hotel’s identity. Customized in-room amenities, thoughtful details and a refined social energy will create an environment that feels both internationally polished and unmistakably New York.
Worldwide rollout
As the inaugural property under The Wolseley Hotels brand, the New York flagship lays the foundation for a selective and purposeful global rollout, with future properties planned for some of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities in Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Each destination is carefully curated to uphold the brand’s distinctive identity, where culinary excellence, elegant design and gracious service come together.
