It was designed by notable architect George Mort Pollard, and the building has been home to many celebrities and other well-known individuals. The white glove services include amenities such as a large swimming pool, two workout rooms, a squash court with basketball hoop, the exclusive La Palestra fitness center (separate cost) and a furnished and planted roof deck. There is a 24-hour concierge, elevator operator and fabulous resident manager. Pied-a-terres are welcome. Owners can enjoy room service (and a 15% residents discount) from the gourmet restaurant on the first floor which delivers to the apartments on China dishes. The restaurant, The Leopard at des Artistes, retained the original Caf des Artistes wall murals of Howard Chandler Christy (also an early resident). The original Caf des Artistes was a popular gathering spot for artists, musicians, writers, and actors dating back to the early 1900''s. The Hotel des Artistes is located on one of the most desirable tree-lined blocks on the Upper West Side right next to the 67th entrance to Central Park. Sheep's Meadow is just steps from your door. This lovely block was known as "Artists Row'' because of the many artist studios on West 67th Street. It is famous for its beautiful lighted trees that glisten after dark. A truly perfect and peaceful location yet close to the best shopping, dining, entertainment and transportation too. Walk to the Met, or Lincoln Center, or Broadway whenever you like.
