New York’s golden era is making a comeback, and there’s no better place to experience it than at The Gold Room, an iconic cocktail lounge nestled within the historic Villard Mansion at the Lotte New York Palace hotel. The Gold Room exudes timeless elegance and embodies the grandeur of the Gilded Age, making it the perfect destination for an unforgettable night on the town, featuring impeccably crafted cocktails served in an opulent setting beneath original gilt ceilings dating back to 1882. This breathtaking space offers a journey through history, blending old-world opulence with modern luxury.
The menu features classic hand-crafted cocktails served in a space that seamlessly blends history with cutting-edge design. Try the Mrs. Astor Cocktail – a bold yet balanced cocktail inspired by Gilded Age icon Caroline Astor, with Campari for a bit of edge and strawberry with a touch of balsamic for a smooth finish. Or explore the Art of the Martini menu, featuring eight unique takes on the classic, with spirits ranging from vodka and gin to tequila and soju– a nod to Lotte’s Korean roots.
In addition to thoughtfully crafted cocktails, guests can enjoy elevated small plates from Executive Chef Cedric Tovar, including decadent Black Truffle Frites, Lobster Mac & Cheese, and Tuna Tartare.
The Gold Room’s Renaissance-style architecture, with its golden walls, vaulted ceilings, and historic John La Farge artwork, creates an atmosphere unlike any other in New York City. Whether you’re seeking a refined night out, a taste of New York’s history, or a setting that exudes pure opulence, The Gold Room is where timeless elegance meets contemporary indulgence.
