Hotel 57 by LuxUrban, East 57th Street on Lexington Avenue

The Hotel 57, formerly Allerton House for women, Habitat Hotel and Renaissance Hotel Fifty Seven, is at 130 East 57th Street in the southwest corner of Lexington Avenue (690-696 Lexington Ave.), in Upper East Side, Midtown Manhattan. It opened in 1923, originally as a club residence exclusively for women, part of the Allerton House Chain. Since 2023, it is operated by LuxUrban Hotels Inc.

Hotel 57 offers easy access to Central Park, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Rockefeller Center and to the shops of 5th Avenue.

This 17-story building was designed in 1920 by Arthur Loomis Harmon (1878-1958). Construction was announced in February 1920 and it was under construction in July 1922. It was built by the Allerton House Company with façades of deep red brick and inset marble and terra cotta elements. It was completed in 1923 with capacity to accommodate 400 women. Its occupancy was filled prior to completion. The roof areas were set back behind a corbelled parapet and rimmed with a projecting copper trellis. The southwest corner of East 57th Street and Lexington Avenue stands an old building erected in the 1870s with added two floors, connected with the 17-story building on the first and second floors.

In 1982, the Allerton Hotel for Women was still in operation. In 1997, it was leased for 49 years by CityLife Hotels (Property Markets Group) from the hotel's longtime owner, Allan Goldman. The hotel was remodeled into 400 rooms, renamed the Habitat Hotel and removed the women-only restriction. In 2008, it was the Renaissance New York Hotel 57, a redesigned boutique hotel with 200 guest rooms. It was renamed Hotel 57 by 2021 and operated by LuxUrban Hotels, since 2023.
