Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel New York City

The Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel New York City is perfectly located at Lexington Avenue and 51st Street in the heart of Midtown Manhattan's fashionable East Side. This contemporary, modern landmark hotel is within walking distance of Park and Madison Avenues, the Broadway theater district, fabulous New York City museums, the United Nations and New York City's world-class shopping and best attractions.

The Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel New York City is full of character and history, as it was originally designed by Morris Lapidus, the modernist architect of Art Deco fame. His iconoclastic style is seen in both the interior building (which reflects a contemporary version of the Lapidus design-a 1960's look with eclectic touches, a retro-cool feel, and design accents) as well as the exterior blue façade - which is shaped like a perpendicular rolling wave. This Midtown Manhattan hotel is also where Marilyn Monroe made history. In 1955, while filming "Seven-Year Itch", Marilyn was posed in front of the hotel when a gust of air from the subway vents blew the skirt of her white halter dress skyward - and made history!
