Concorde Hotel New York, East 55th Street

The Concorde Hotel New York, formerly Fitzpatrick East 55th Street Hotel and the Manhattan Viscount Hotel, is a boutique hotel housed in a 37-story skyscraper built in 1982-1983, located at 127 East 55th Street, between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue, Midtown Manhattan. It has 122 guest rooms, with only three to four spacious rooms per floor.

The Concorde is close to Times Square, Central Park, the Empire State Building, the Museum of Modern Art, and more.

The Greentree Enterprises built the 37-story condominium completed in 1983, called the Park Gallery Tower. Barclays Hotel Group bought the building in January 1984 and commissioned architectural firm Horace Ginsbern & Associates to refurbish the building to a 107-room hotel with a small restaurant and bar. British company Trusthouse Forte took over the building and, in 1984, they refashioned the premises and rebranded it as the Manhattan Viscount Hotel. In 1990, Trusthouse Forte sold the hotel to British Airways, which contracted Fitzpatrick Hotel Company to operate the hotel. The hotel’s name changed to the Fitzpatrick East 55th Street Hotel, but it was not open to the public. In August 2002 the hotel was sold to Hotel Properties LTD, Singapore, and renamed it Concorde Hotel.
