What The Surrey actually is
The Surrey has been on East 76th Street since 1926, a discreet residential-scale hotel a block from Madison Avenue that has housed long-stay guests including Bette Davis and JFK. It closed for a lengthy and thorough restoration and reopened under Corinthia's management.
The appeal is the same as it has always been: a genuinely quiet street, an Upper East Side location that puts the Met, the Frick and the Whitney within walking distance, and a scale small enough that the staff learn your name. It is not a hotel for people who want to be at the centre of things — it is for people who want to be a short walk from them and then come back somewhere calm.

Where it sits
Quiet, residential, and lined with the museums of the Fifth Avenue Mile. Hotels here are smaller and calmer than Midtown, and the trade-off is a longer ride to downtown nightlife.
