With HBO’s The Gilded Age returning for its fourth season on November 1, the decadence and grandeur of 1880s New York are back in the spotlight and Lotte New York Palace offers the perfect way to experience the era firsthand.
At the center of the hotel is the historic Villard Mansion, built in 1882 by railroad financier Henry Villard. Inside, The Gold Room channels the unapologetic opulence of the period with gilt ceilings and walls, vaulted architecture, original John La Farge artwork and a suspended musicians’ balcony.
Guests can step further into the spirit of the era with cocktails like the Mrs. Astor, inspired by Gilded Age society icon Caroline Astor, alongside the Art of the Martini menu and elevated bites including Osciètre Caviar and Black Truffle Frites.
For an even deeper look into the era, hotel guests can join A Glimpse of The Gilded Age, a complimentary Saturday morning tour led by the Palace Historian through the Villard Mansion and its storied architectural details.
As The Gilded Age brings 1880s New York back to screens this November, Lotte New York Palace offers the chance to experience a remarkably preserved piece of that world firsthand.
