Ma mua o ka lilo ʻana i The Chatwal New York a me The Lambs Club Restaurant and Bar, ʻo kēia hale kiʻi i hoʻolālā ʻia ʻo Stanford White ke kikowaena o ka hale keaka ʻAmelika no ke kenekulia 20. Ua wehe mua ʻia ka hale i ka makahiki 1905 ma ke ʻano he home no ka Lambs Club hanohano, ka hui keaka ʻoihana mua o ʻAmelika. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia i ka makahiki 1874 e kahi hui o nā mea keaka a me nā mea hoihoi, ua noho ʻo The Lambs i kahi ʻano o nā wahi hoʻolimalima ma mua o ka noho ʻana ma 44thStreet. Ua lawe ka hui ʻAmelika i ko lākou inoa mai kahi hui like ma Ladana, i ulu mai ka makahiki 1869-1879, ma ka inoa o ka mea hoʻokalakupua a me ka mea kākau moʻolelo ʻo Charles Lamb.

Ua kākau ʻo Christopher Gray ma kāna kolamu ʻo Dekemaba 26, 1999 Streetscapes ma New York Times:

… Ma Niu Ioka, ua noho ka Lambs i na wahi hoolimalima, a i ka makahiki 1888, ua hoomaka lakou i ka mea a lakou i kapa ai i ko lakou "gambols," he mau hookanikani kūikawā a na mema i kono ai i na kanaka o waho. I ka hopena o nā makahiki 1890, ma lalo o ka mea hoʻokani ʻo DeWolf Hopper, ka "Shepherd" - a i ʻole ka pelekikena - o ka hui, ua hoʻohana ʻia nā gambols ma ke ʻano he ʻohi kālā no kahi hale hou. I ka makahiki 1898, ua hele ka gambol i hoʻokahi pule, ʻewalu kūlanakauhale kaʻahele, e hoʻonui ana i $67,000.

I ka makahiki 1903, kūʻai nā Lambs i kahi kahua ma 128 a me 130 West 44th Street, kokoke i ka ʻāpana keaka e puka mai ana, a ua mālama ʻo Stanford White, he lālā hui, e hoʻolālā i kahi hale kalapu. Ua hoʻolālā ka mea hoʻolālā i kahi hoʻolālā neo-Georgian waiwai i loko o nā pōhaku lepo, marble a me terra cotta.

… I ka makahiki 1914, ua kākau ʻo The New York Times "ʻoiai ka nui o nā hale kalapu o ka Big Town e hōʻike mau ana i ka hanohano a me ka ʻuhane o Greenwood Cemetery i ka ʻauinalā Pōʻaono ua ua, ua piha nā Lambs i ka paʻi a me ka ginger e like me ka bronco outlaw, he pūpū. o na mea puhi ahi hou.

… I hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, ua hiki i ka Saturday Evening Post ke kuhikuhi i nā wahi kiʻekiʻe o ka moʻolelo o ka hui e like me ka hana mua a George M. Cohan o "Over There" ma kahi gambol, a me kahi hua mua o "Brigadoon" i hoʻokani ʻia e ka haku mele ʻo Frederick ʻO Loewe ma ka piano i loko o ka pahu.

ʻO Stanford White, he hoa hana ma ka hale hoʻolālā kaulana ʻo McKim, Mead & White, ʻo ia ka mea hoʻolālā kumu o The Lambs clubhouse. ʻO kāna mau kumumanaʻo hoʻolālā i hoʻokomo i ka "American Renaissance," e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia ma kāna hana ma nā hale weliweli e like me The Washington Square Arch, Madison Square Garden, ka Metropolitan Club a me ka Hale Waihona Puke o Boston. No The Lambs Club, ua hoʻolālā ʻo ia i ʻeono papa, hale pōhaku neo-Georgian e hōʻike ana i kahi façade i kāhiko ʻia me nā poʻo hipa. Aia ma ka papahele mua he lumi kuke a me ke keena pila, he keena ahaaina ma ka papahele elua, a he hale keaka ma ka papahele ekolu. Hāʻawi nā papahele o luna i wahi no nā keʻena a me nā keʻena moe, hoʻohana pinepine ʻia e nā lālā e hele ana i The Great White Way mai Hollywood. Ua pālua ʻia ka nui o ka Club i ka makahiki 1915 i ka wā i kūkulu ʻia ai kahi mea hoʻohui i hoʻolālā ʻia e ka mea kākau kiʻi ʻo George Freeman ma ke komohana komohana o ka hale. I ka makahiki 1974, ua koho ʻia ka hale i hōʻailona e ka New York City Landmarks and Preservation Commission.

Mai ka hoʻokumu ʻana o ka hui, ua ʻoi aku ma mua o 6,000 Lambs, me kahi papa inoa elite e heluhelu ana e like me ka Who's Who of American theater and film: Maurice, Lionel and John Barrymore, Irving Berlin, Cecil B. DeMille, David Belasco, Charlie Chaplin, George M. Cohan, Douglas Fairbanks, John Wayne, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Spencer Tracy a me Fred Astaire, ka mea i olelo kaulana e olelo ana, "I ko'u lilo ana i Keikihipa, ua manao au ua naita au."

ʻO Architect Stanford White he mea hoʻokalakupua me ka makemake i nā wahine ʻōpio a maikaʻi, a ua kaulana ʻo ia no ka hoʻokipa pinepine ʻana i nā pāʻina hōʻino e kaena ana i nā kaikamahine ʻaʻahu liʻiliʻi, a me ka champagne Farani. Ua kaulana kona hale noho ma ka papahele ʻelua ma Madison Square Garden no kona kowali ʻulaʻula e kau ana ma luna o ke kaupaku, i noho pinepine ʻia e kekahi o kāna mau kaikamahine. ʻO kekahi o ia mea e noho ana he uʻi ʻulaʻula ʻumikūmāhiku makahiki mai kahi kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ma Pennsylvania inoa ʻo Evelyn Nesbit. He aloha huna ko White me Nesbit, a ua pau e like me ka hoʻomaka ʻana i ka wā i hele aku ai kona maka auwana i nā wahine hou a ʻōpio o Manhattan.

Ua hele ʻo Evelyn i kahi aloha pōkole me John Barrymore ma mua o ka male ʻana i kahi miliona miliona i kapa ʻia ʻo Harry Kendall Thaw. Ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i ka mōʻaukala ʻino o Nesbit me White, ua ʻimi ʻo Thaw a pana i ka mea pena i ka wā hōʻikeʻike ma Madison Square Garden. Ua hewa ʻo Thaw i ka pepehi ʻana iā Stanford White ma muli o ka pupule, he hihia koʻikoʻi ma ka ʻaha kānāwai ʻAmelika no ka mea ʻo ia ka manawa mua i noi ai kekahi loio pale i ka ʻōlelo hoʻopiʻi no ka pupule manawa a lanakila.

ʻO ka Hale Hōkele ʻo Chatwal New York kekahi ʻāpana o kahi hoʻoilina lōʻihi o ka hoʻokipa lokomaikaʻi i hāʻawi ʻia e ka hui makua ʻo Hampshire Hotels and Resorts a me kona luna hoʻomalu, ʻo Sant Singh Chatwal. Hānau ʻia mai ka manaʻo o ka hāʻawi ʻana i "kahi mea no kēlā me kēia ʻono, kaila a me ke kālā," ʻike ʻo Hampshire Hotels i kona aʻa ma Manhattan mai 1986. ʻO kāna mau hale kūʻai ponoʻī i hoʻomaka ʻia e ke keiki a Sant Vikram i ka makahiki 1999. Aia ʻo Hampshire Hotels i kēia manawa a mālama i nā hōkele i kona mau ʻano ola e like me Time Hotels, Dream Hotels a me Night Hotels.

Ma lalo o ke alakaʻi a ka mea kākau/mea hoʻolālā ʻo Thierry Despont, ua hoʻihoʻi hou ʻia ka hale ʻo Lambs Club 1905 a hoʻolālā hou ʻia ma ke ʻano he hōkele kūʻokoʻa a nani. Ua hānau ʻia ʻo Despont ke keiki a kahi mea kākau kiʻi ma Farani a ua aʻo ʻo ia ma ka Beaux-Arts kaulana ma Paris, ma mua o ka neʻe ʻana i ʻAmelika e loaʻa ke kēkelē laepua ma ka hoʻolālā kūlanakauhale ma Harvard. I ka makahiki 1976, ua hui pū ʻo ia me ka ʻoihana hoʻolālā kaulana ʻo Lord Llewelyn-Davies, hana mua ma kāna lālā Tehran a laila neʻe i ke keʻena ʻo New York. Ua hālāwai ʻo Despont i kahi liʻiliʻi o nā kiʻi kiʻekiʻe e lilo i mau mea kūʻai aku, ʻo John lāua ʻo Susan Gutfreund, Jayne Wrightsmen, Oscar a me Annette de la Renta. I kēia lā, hoʻomau kāna hui, ʻo Thierry W. Despont, Ltd., i ka hana ʻana i nā papahana no kāna mau mea kūʻai aku a puni ka honua.

Ua kaulana loa ʻo Despont me ka hoʻonohonoho mogul fashion. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo ia i nā hale noho no Ralph Lauren, CEO Limited Les Wexner, Calvin Klein, Hubert de Givenchy, a me Millard Drexler, ka Luna Nui o ka Gap. Ua hoʻolālā ʻo ia i ka loko o ka ʻāina ākea o Bill Gates ma ka mokuʻāina ʻo Wakinekona, i kapa ʻia ʻo "Xanadu 2.0." Ua hana ʻo Despont i ka hana ma ke alo kalepa. Ua hana ʻo ia i ka hoʻoponopono hou ʻana i ka hale kūʻai ʻo London Hotel Claridge.

Loaʻa i nā lumi hoʻokipa o Chatwal nā lako hana maʻamau i ka wā e hana hou ana i ka hoʻolālā Art Deco i ka makahiki 1930 e hoʻāla i kahi manaʻo ikaika o kahi a me ke au. Hāʻawi lākou i ka clubby, nani a me ka ʻoluʻolu o ka lewa o kēia pae ʻāina o New York. ʻO nā lumi hoʻokipa 83, ʻo 40 nā suites nui aʻe, ʻaʻole i mālama ʻia ka nānā ʻana i nā kikoʻī. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i loko o ke keʻena me nā paia i uhi ʻia i ka suede maikaʻi a me nā keʻena ʻili i uhi ʻia i ka ʻili, nā kāleka pāʻani retro a Chatwal a me kahi hoʻonohonoho backgammon i hana kūikawā ʻia. He ʻokoʻa ka nānā ʻana i nā pā liʻiliʻi o kēia wā: ka loaʻa ʻana o ka Pūnaewele hoʻomaikaʻi, kahi palekana laptop-nui, kahi kīwī IP pāpaʻa 42-ʻīniha HD me ka Blueray DVD a me nā koho ʻōlelo he nui, kahi hale waihona kiʻiʻoniʻoni, a me ka ʻōnaehana stereo i loko o ka lumi me kahi. Hāʻawi ʻo iPod dock i kahi ʻike uea ʻoluʻolu.

Ua kauoha ʻo Chatwal iā Shifman Mattress e hoʻolālā i kahi moena i hana ʻia e ka lima, i hoʻopili ʻia me kahi koho lole moe ākea e Frette a me kahi papa uluna. ʻO ke kāʻei ʻana iā ʻoe iho i kekahi o nā ʻaʻahu maʻamau o The Chatwal's Kashwere ma hope o ka ʻauʻau ʻana i ka ʻauʻau Rain Drop a i ʻole ʻauʻau Jacuzzi (piha me Asprey Amenities, aia wale nō ʻo The Chatwal New York) he hopena maikaʻi loa ia i kahi lā o New York City. ʻO nā lumi ʻauʻau pū kekahi me nā papahele marble, nā paia aniani a me kahi kīwī aniani hoʻohui 19-inihi. ʻO ka lawelawe hoʻohuli ʻana o ka hōkele me kahi lawelawe hoʻomaʻamaʻa kāmaʻa hoʻomaikaʻi, ka ʻōmole wai, a me ka nūpepa makemake a ka malihini i hāʻawi ʻia i kēlā me kēia kakahiaka i ko lākou puka.

Hoʻohana ʻo Chef kaulana ʻo Geoffrey Zakarian i ka hale ʻaina Lambs Club he 90 mau noho ma The Chatwal New York. Hāʻawi i ka poʻe ʻaina i kahi ʻano hou o ka pā maʻamau a me ka grill me kahi leʻaleʻa hoʻokipa a me ka mahana, ʻo ka papa kuhikuhi e kālele ana i nā meaʻai kuʻuna ʻAmelika a me nā meaʻai kau.

ʻO ka Red Door Spa ma Chatwal New York e loaʻa ana ʻekolu lumi hoʻomaʻamaʻa pilikino me nā wai mahu pilikino a me nā wahi hoʻololi i hoʻohui ʻia i kahi manicure a me ka pedicure station. Hāʻawi kahi ʻauʻau ʻauʻau, ʻelua mau loko wai a me kahi hale hoʻoikaika kino piha i nā lako me nā mea leo-kiʻi pilikino a me nā mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa pilikino.

Ma ʻApelila 2011, ua pūlima ka Hale Hōʻikeʻike ʻo Chatwal New York i kahi ʻaelike laikini me ka Starwood Luxury Collection, kahi hui like ʻole o nā ʻoihana ʻoi aku ma mua o 75 o nā hōkele a me nā hōkele maikaʻi loa o ka honua ma mua o 30 mau ʻāina.

Ua hoʻopuka ʻia kēia ʻatikala me ka ʻae a ka mea kākau mai ka puke, "Kūkulu ʻia e Noho Hou: 100+ Mau Hōkele Makahiki Ma ka Hikina o ka Misisipi," KopeHouse 2013. ʻO ka mea kākau, ʻo Stanley Turkel, he mana a he kākāʻōlelo no ka ʻoihana hōkele. Hoʻohana ʻo ia i kona hōkele, hoʻokipa a me ka hana aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo loea i ka hoʻokele waiwai, nā loiloi hana a me ka maikaʻi o nā ʻaelike franchise hotel a me nā kuleana kākoʻo litigation. ʻO nā mea kūʻai aku nā mea hōkele, nā mea hoʻopukapuka a me nā ʻoihana hōʻaiʻē. ʻO kāna puke hou ʻo "Hotel Mavens: Lucius M. Boomer, George C. Boldt a me Oscar o ka Waldorf."
