The Roosevelt Hotel’s MAD46 lounge
| | More
The Roosevelt Hotel is one of New York’s architectural and cultural stand-bys. Its inception as a grand hotel in the city’s Golden Era in 1924 was followed by years of Saturday afternoon tea parties and Sunday evening fetes in the decades to follow. The hotel, long standing as the grand dame of Madison Avenue repose and relaxation, has been brought back to her 1920s glory and is better than ever. Along with its nod to the age in which it came to grandeur, the Roosevelt Hotel has added modern amenities, including the sleek and stylish MAD46 Rooftop Lounge. MAD46, which overlooks the Manhattan skyline and offers patrons a relief from the hubbub of the city, is a gem above the New York landmark.
The hotel, located on the cusp of the posh Upper East Side in midtown Manhattan takes guests back to a time of decadence and elegance, providing guests with more than a hotel stay. The Roosevelt Hotel lets guests experience the Golden Age of New York City, when the definition of American influence and affluence was coming from the Big Apple.
The juxtaposition between the hotel itself, full of period details and classic ambience and the MAD46 lounge which offers patrons a modern and dazzling experience, is truly delightful. Situated nineteen stories above the swanky hotel, the rooftop lounge is accessible through private elevator and is the perfect place for an after work cocktail or weekend night out. The deck is filled with contemporary and comfortable seating conducive to conversation. Retractable canopies can be brought out in the case of rain and a new addition to the lounge includes an indoor section which is fully air-conditioned for those warm New York City nights.
MAD46’s highlights include its custom cocktails. Favorites include the Mad Mojito, with a delectable presentation complete with white-chocolate stick and shaved coconut, and the Teddy-Tini, a salute to the hotel’s namesake Teddy Roosevelt. The lounge also features a number of promotional nights including Mojito Mondays and a Live DJ on Saturdays as well as a menu of appetizers sure to wet attendees’ appetites. With breathtaking views of midtown Manhattan, MAD46 is the perfect place to unwind with friends or co-workers and experience the best the New York has to offer.
