Downton Abbey
Upper East Side, Manhattan
Commissioned in 1901 and designed by Warren and Wetmore, the architects of Grand Central Terminal, this Beaux-Arts landmark offers an ornate setting for events and period productions. A formal banquet hall features Campan vert marble walls and a decorative floral ceiling, while twelve-foot mirror-paneled doors draw inspiration from the Palace of Versailles. A marble spiral staircase, stained-glass skylight, ceiling mural, and grand piano complete the historic interiors.
