This mesmerizing B&B is tucked away on a leafy brownstone-lined block, the low-profile 1871 House is an Upper East Side hidden jewel -- small, quiet, private, and residential with old-world ambiance. Located at the southern end of the Upper East Side (in the lower east 60s), it feels like a secret hideaway from the moment you enter the intimate lobby rather than a Bed and Breakfast Inn. The circa 1871 Brownstone offers relatively affordable accommodations in a shopping- and museum-convenient area of the Upper East Side called the Upper East Side Historic District. One-of-a-kind spacious suites and studios are available. Most rooms offer 10-12 foot ceilings, wood floors covered with Oriental rugs, beautifully dressed beds and cozy sitting areas facing grand working fireplaces and an assortment of antiques. Full floor suites (there are 3) are well suited for reunions and family gatherings. Studio apartments are spacious enough for three adults to share. The "Great Room studio" overlooks the neighboring brownstone garden and has access to the gracious cedar terrace (a rare Manhattan amenity!) with potted plants, elegant teak furniture and a café table with chair set. Subway: F train (1 block away); 4, 5, 6, N & R (2 blocks away). Central Park is a quick two-block walk (as is Bloomingdales). The location, at the heart of one of Manhattan's most desirable neighborhoods, is first rate.
Nestled among stylish brownstones and stately Townhouses on a beautiful residential block, this late nineteenth century townhouse is centrally located just a stroll away from Central Park and Madison Avenue. Flanked by prestigious Park & Lexington Avenues, the house is set amid Manhattan's most elegant neighborhood on the Upper East Side. Because the 1871 House is at the epicenter of a chic & bustling neighborhood, many of the Upper East Side's finest restaurants are in close proximity as are Madison Avenue's chic boutiques and stylish cafes. Neighborhood antique shops, galleries, specialty stores and world-renowned museums are also within easy walking distance.
