What The Chatwal actually is

The Chatwal occupies the former Lambs Club, a Stanford White building on West 44th Street that housed the oldest theatrical club in America. Thierry Despont restored it and reopened it as a hotel in 2010, working in an Art Deco register that suits the building and the block.

It is small — well under a hundred rooms — and unusually quiet for a hotel a hundred metres from Times Square. The rooms are panelled and comfortable rather than showy, with butler service included. For Broadway trips it is close to unbeatable on location: most theatres are within a five-minute walk, and Bryant Park is two blocks east.

What stands out

  • 01 Stanford White landmark building, restored by Thierry Despont
  • 02 Small scale with butler service on every floor
  • 03 The Lambs Club restaurant and bar

Questions people ask about The Chatwal

Is butler service included?

Yes, floor butlers are part of the standard offer rather than a suite-only benefit.

Is it noisy given the Times Square location?

West 44th Street west of Sixth Avenue is quieter than the immediate Times Square blocks, and the building's construction is solid. It is among the calmer options in the theatre district.
