Dear Valued Owners,
9/11 – We Will Never Forget
As we mark the 25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001, The Manhattan Club joined our City in remembrance and reflection, honoring the lost lives and remembering all those whose lives were forever changed by that tragic day.
United as one, we honor the heroes who showed extraordinary courage and compassion, as well as the families and loved ones who continue to carry their memories.
Together, we paused to remember, reflect, and honor the strength and resilience that continue to define our City and its people.
We remember.
We honor.
We stand together.
With respect and remembrance,
The Manhattan Club

Owner Spotlight
Denise and Chuck
|
We were gifted a night at The Manhattan Club back in 2001… we were hooked and became Owners. We’re from Long Island and have always loved the city—Broadway, Lincoln Center, museums, and, of course, the food!
Once we became Owners, we loved being able to stay overnight after a show or simply after spending a day in town. After all these years, we still love being tourists: the Circle Line, Top of the Rock, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum—the list goes on! There is always something new to explore.
We also love being able to share a night with our children when they have plans in the city.
The entire staff is incredible and always makes us feel so welcome. We enjoy sharing family stories with them and hearing all about their families as well. The suites are always spotless, thanks to the wonderful housekeeping team, and the Owners Lounge is a wonderful place to relax after a busy day (and they make great cocktails!).
We always look forward to our next stay—it’s just a train ride away!
Thanks to everyone at The Manhattan Club who always make us feel at home.

Stepping into Summer with an Aperol Spritz
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As we stepped into Summer, the Club Lounge welcomed our Owners with a complimentary Aperol Spritz tasting—the perfect way to kick off the season!
Originating in Italy, Aperol is a vibrant orange aperitif known for its refreshing bittersweet flavor, with notes of orange, herbs, and vanilla. The classic Aperol Spritz combines Aperol with Prosecco and a splash of soda water, served over ice and finished with a fresh orange slice. Light, bubbly, and wonderfully refreshing, it was the perfect summer sip!
We truly enjoyed raising a glass with you!

We are proud to provide you with testimonials from your fellow Manhattan Club members that have recently stayed at the Club:
“From the moment we arrived, Jerry and Lizette at the front desk made us feel welcome and anticipated our family's needs. Their warm hospitality, professionalism, and attention to detail ensured our room was comfortable throughout our stay in New York. We would also like to recognize the evening front desk team members, whose kindness, patience, and willingness to assist us whenever we had questions or needed anything made us feel genuinely cared for. They were always welcoming and ready to help, and we sincerely appreciate everything they did.
We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful team on the 26th floor. Aaron, Bojan, Michael, and Yamil provided exceptional hospitality and friendly service during coffee each morning. Their warm smiles, genuine conversations, and outstanding care made each day start on a positive note and truly enhanced our stay. Our sincere appreciation also goes to the housekeeping team. Katie, Aaron, and the other housekeeping team members consistently made sure we had everything we needed—from plenty of towels, toilet paper, extra blankets, and anything else that helped keep our family comfortable. Their hard work, thoughtfulness, and prompt assistance did not go unnoticed. I am so sorry I wasn't able to get everyone's names, but please know that every member of the housekeeping team who helped us made a difference, and we are truly grateful. Thank you to the engineers who helped us unlock our bathroom door and make sure the room was comfortably cool. We would also like to thank the door attendants, bell staff, security team, and everyone else who worked behind the scenes to make our stay so smooth and enjoyable. Every interaction reflected the outstanding hospitality of The Manhattan Club”.

“After checking out very early on Wed. I realized I left my watch in the room. I called security and with help from Rajay & Jesse, my watch has been located. I am so happy with their help. They kept me informed and within 10 hours, my watch is on its way back to me. They are both to be commended. I have been an owner for 25 years. Their kindness resolving my lost watch my recent visit made me proud to be an owner at the Manhattan Club.”

“Ismael was an amazing help at the front, helping us get a cab, directions, and recommendations. To be honest, All the guys at the front were awesome. Everyone at the desk was helpful and punctual. On floor 26, The Club Lounge, all staff members were friendly, accommodating, helpful and provided great service. We enjoyed having food, drinks and watching the World Cup on the 26th floor.”

“Every staff member we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and helpful. While I fail to remember names, the tall bald gentleman in the lobby greeted us and helped to check our bags as we arrived early and engaged in a conversation about the Mets recognizing my Darrel Strawberry jersey. The housekeeping staff always greets with a smile and kind words. Our waitress in the lounge during the soccer game could not have been more attentive and pleasant. This trip was a 10 of 10 and we loved the layout of 2104! I was so pleased with the Fitness Center equipment and cleanliness. Was able to keep up my routine on vacation. Please extend our most sincere gratitude for another amazing stay at the MC! All the best.”

Broadway Shows Fall 2026
|
The stars are out! A dazzling lineup of TV and film favorites is heading to Broadway this Fall season. Marvel stars Tom Hiddleston and Hayley Atwell lead a joyful production of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing. Bradley Whitford and Tom Blyth star in Aaron Sorkin’s A Few Good Men, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ed Harris and Allison Janney headline the Broadway revival of Other Desert Cities.

The MET Exhibitions
1. Consume Art - The Costume Institute’s 2026 exhibition, Costume Art, explores the relationship between clothing and the body by pairing garments with artworks from across The Met’s collection. Focusing mainly on Western art from prehistory to today, the exhibition examines connections ranging from aesthetic and political to personal and symbolic. It is the first exhibition held in The Costume Institute’s new, nearly 12,000-square-foot galleries beside the Great Hall.
2. The Face of Life: Modern Portraits at The MET - A portrait represents more than a person—it reflects identity, experience, and society. As portraiture evolved through the 20th century, artists were influenced by modernism, photography, psychology, and industrialization. The Face of Life: Modern Portraits at The Met explores how portraits captured these changes, focusing less on power and commemoration and more on human experience, connection, and moments in everyday life.
