Morning View – Sherry-Netherland Hotel

The Sherry-Netherland Hotel has been standing its Gothic guard over the southeast corner of Central Park since 1927. At 42 stories, it has only 154 rooms and 100 of them are devoted to permanent residents, about whose multi-floor apartments Travel & Leisure devoted a portion of their June 2006 issue, prompting me to walk down and take this picture. In the 70’s, the famously exclusive disco Raffles operated in the basement of the Sherry-Netherland.
