THE EMERY BAR OPENS AT THE BENJAMIN HOTEL
-Bar & Restaurant Celebrate Legendary Style of Architect Emery Roth -
New York has long been hailed for its dynamic and powerful skyscrapers, yet set like gems among the city’s giant towers are exquisitely detailed turn-of-the-century hotels and apartment houses, many designed by Hungarian-born Emery Roth, one of the city’s premier architects . His luxurious creations abound on New York’s most fashionable thoroughfares: Central Park West (The Eldorado, The San Remo, and The Beresford), Riverside Drive (The Normandy), Broadway (Hotel Belleclaire), and Park Avenue (The Ritz Tower). Now The Benjamin hotel, (125 E. 50th Street at Lexington; formerly The Beverly), one of Mr. Roth’s finest hotels, is paying homage to his life and work with The Emery Bar. Opening Fall 2006, the bar will feature upscale, bar dining and a classic cocktail list, all served in surroundings inspired by the architect.
