Built in 1834. Still unrepeatable.

Step through the doors of The Inn at Irving Place, and discover a quietly transported world where New York’s past lingers with deliberate grace. Tucked within a pair of historic townhouses, the hotel offers an intimate kind of luxury—layered, literary, and deeply personal. A cherished address for those drawn to character over spectacle, it is a place where time slows, details matter, and beauty reveals itself softly, room by room.
Lady Mendl’s is an unconventionally chic tea salon housed within a Georgian brownstone in the heart of New York’s historical Gramercy Park. Built in 1834, two landmark structures were meticulously transformed to recreate a bygone era of gracious living while offering an opulent five-course tea served in a whimsical parlor by a doting staff required by today’s discriminating traveler. With an insouciant nod to the past, Lady Mendl’s epitomizes a modern take on traditional afternoon tea and is often used for fashion presentations, bridal showers, small weddings and private events for the arts. Our location can exclusively be recognized by a small teacup engraved plaque on the building’s facade.
