Editorial Review for The Rose Bar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Set up like an 18th century French salon with an Asian lattice ceiling, a medieval fireplace mantel, and massive Warhol originals adorning the walls, this swanky bar is a mishmash of styles, but somehow, it works. It's the kind of tucked-away luxury that attracts the A-list: Wealthy locals, important hotel guests and lots of celebs. The cocktail list poses modern updates to classic concoctions, and gentlemanly matches can be had at a red-felt, smoked-wood pool table.
Hits: An impressive cocktail menu features specialties like the spiced mango martini, pineapple and cinnamon mojito, and the Long Berry (raspberries and blackberries with fresh lemon juice, raspberry vodka and Prosecco).
Misses: No one is guaranteed admission to this highly exclusive spot--and that includes hotel guests--but if you do get in, be prepared to drop some serious cash: Cocktails start at $19.

Know Before You GoReservations are mandatory after 10pm--and the door staff enforces this rule strictly. Contact the bar or hotel to reserve a space.
Hotel BarIan Schrager's Gramercy Park Hotel is a swanky stay for those with money to burn.
The ExtrasEven more exclusive than the Rose Bar is the hotel's rooftop bar, which requires keyed elevator access.

Went there during Holiday season with my wife to enjoy a few glasses of wine. Raining outside, we were greeeted at the cab with an umbrella and brought right inside. It was a quiet evening by the fireplace. Had a few drinks and relaxed, would definitely go back. Tad expensive, but in line with NY prices

Was just there and it was pretty well dead. Looks okay for a business drink or if you just want to sit and talk in a quiet setting with friends, but if you're looking for a scene, it's moved on.
Pros: good art and nice use of space
Cons: boring, falls short of hype
