Hotel Line Cook - Elysee

Elysée New York is entering a new chapter as an intimate luxury boutique hotel in the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The hotel blends the elegance of a historic New York residence with the warmth and cultural spirit of a European luxury hotel, delivering a guest experience built on genuine hospitality, considered detail, and quiet discretion. Elysée New York by Wunderkind Hotels is managed by Crescent Hotels & Resorts, one of North America's leading hospitality management companies.

At the heart of Elysée New York is Salon Sanssouci, the hotel's intimate, residential-style lounge, inspired by the elegance and relaxed hospitality of Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam, Germany. More than a hotel lounge, Salon Sanssouci is the social and cultural living room of the hotel, which has been a New York City icon for 100 years. Salon Sanssouci is a place where guests begin their morning, gather throughout the day, and settle into evening conversation.

True to its French meaning “without worries,” Salon Sanssouci carries the details, so guests never have to. The experience is refined but never formal, handled with warmth and discretion.
