GRAMERCY PARK HOTEL ![]() The large Gramercy Park Hotel was erected in two building campaigns. The earlier section is that located at the corner of Gramercy Park North and Lexington Avenue, replacing the former Stanford White house. Four years after the initial 16-story hotel was completed, it was extended westward along the park frontage. Both sections of the Gramercy Park Hotel are extremely simple Renaissance Revival style brick structures with a two-story stone base topped by balustrade railings. The Gramercy Park has long been a popular residential hotel; among those who lived at the hotel were Joseph P. Kennedy and his family (including the 11-year-old John F. Kennedy), who occupied the second floor for several months just after the hotel opened; S.J. Perelman, who lived and died in Room 1621; and Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy, who resided in the hotel during the 1940s. Humphrey Bogart was married here in 1926. | ![]() 37 38 40 44 45 60 1 Gramercy Park Hotel Park Gramercy Church Missions House New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children United Charities Building Manhattan Trade School for Girls Gramercy Arms Sage House Family Court Building Children's Court 145 Gustavus Adolphus Swedish Lutheran Church Parish House Lexington Miss E.L.
