New York’s iconic Surrey Hotel is set to begin a new chapter as it reopens next week under the name The Surrey, A Corinthia Hotel, marking the first venture of the Malta-based Corinthia Hotels into the US market.

Originally built in 1926 as a residential hotel, the Surrey has long been a prestigious Upper East Side landmark, having hosted an array of celebrities, creatives and world leaders over the decades.

Spanning 16 storeys, the 100-room hotel will unveil its new identity on 1 September after an extensive renovation, including the addition of a luxurious spa and wellness facility in partnership with Sisley Paris.

The Surrey Spa’s menu will feature a selection of Sisley massages and facials, including a signature 105-minute facial and scalp treatment (US$350, €314, £265) designed exclusively for the location.

Wellness amenities will include two treatment rooms, a steamroom, a sauna, a sensorial shower, a salt tepidarium and a fitness centre designed by AMP. Additionally, guests will be able to enjoy access to an outdoor patio designed for yoga, stretching and workouts.

The hotel's transformation has been made possible through a collaboration between Corinthia Hotels and the UK-based global private investment group, Reuben Brothers. The Reuben Brothers has recently made headlines in the wellness sector with its involvement in Fountain Life's upcoming longevity project in LA and Auberge Resorts’ debut property in the UK.

Simon Casson, CEO of Corinthia Hotels, said: “The addition of this property represents a significant milestone for Corinthia Hotels and we’re both proud and grateful for our partnership with the Reuben Brothers whose vision has made this possible.

“This much-anticipated opening allows us to bring to New York our commitment to luxury, elegance and exceptional service with the brand’s first property in North America."

Accommodation will be split into 70 guestrooms and 30 suites, designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, including four theme suites inspired by Central Park’s picturesque bridges. Above the hotel, 14 private residences will be available, offering owners exclusive access to a sophisticated roof terrace inspired by an English cottage garden.

Additional offerings at The Surrey will include a restaurant and lounge – operated by the glamorous Miami-based Casa Tua restaurant group, a private members’ area and a curated art collection by Paris-based Visto, showcasing works from both established and emerging New York City artists.
