Rooms and Suites by tonychi studioDesigned by the award-winning New York-based design firm tonychi studio, The Carlyle's revamped rooms and suites are inspired by the distinctive glamour and beauty of Manhattan's Upper East Side's pre-World War II era and the distinguished guests who have graced the hallowed halls of this renowned hotel residence for more than 90 years.
The new rooms' luxurious fixtures and furnishings, black lacquered paneling, Central Park-inspired wallpaper reminiscent of renowned designers Ludwig Bemelmans and Marcel Vert's, and a meticulous curation of artwork, books, and everyday objects all combine to create a truly residential experience.

William Paley, longtime creative director of tonychi studio, oversaw the renovation of 155 of the hotel's 189 rooms and suites. The remaining 34 rooms and suites are all completely uniquely designed, ranging from the Empire Suite by renowned designer Thierry Despont to a new suite by New York-based interior designer Dan Fink, and the newly inaugurated Presidential Suite.
