The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel

The 16-story building is the inaugural property in North America for Corinthia Hotels. Owned by Reuben Brothers, global leaders in real estate development and private equity, with striking interiors by Martin Brudnizki of MBDS, The Surrey has been completely transformed to encompass 70 guest rooms, 30 suites, and 14 private residences. It is home to the first New York outpost of the beloved eatery Casa Tua and the tranquil Surrey Spa featuring Sisley Paris and offers a chic lifestyle experience for both international tastemakers and local New Yorkers alike.

Located on East 76th Street, the hotel features public spaces and guest rooms designed by London and New York-based design team MBDS to blend past influences with contemporary sophistication. The design evokes a residential feel, paying tribute to New York with details like handcrafted Murano chandeliers and bespoke furniture pieces. Textures throughout the hotel—from cabinetry to wall finishes—add a rich, sensory dimension to the spaces.

The hotel’s suites are inspired by the bridges of Central Park. They include the Bethesda Grandeur Suite, Pine Bank Bridge Suite, Greywacke Heritage Suite, and The Surrey Suite, featuring design elements that pay homage to their namesakes. Crown moldings reflect each bridge’s architectural style, while illustrations of the bridges are found within each suite’s grand armoire. These spacious accommodations feature elegant living spaces, luxurious beds, and opulent bathrooms. Guests staying in these suites may opt for complimentary, dedicated butler service for a seamless and highly personalized stay.
