The Sherry Netherland Hotel in New York has become the latest iconic property to joint the exclusive Mantis Collection hospitality brand.

Opened in 1927, the 38-storey property enjoys a spectacular location on Fifth Avenue and 59th Street, and overlooks Central Park and the Plaza Hotel.

Topped by an elaborate Gothic minaret, The Sherry adds a note of drama and history to the Manhattan skyline, with its signature sidewalk clock on Fifth Avenue marking the entrance.

The historical building has over 160 privately-owned apartments, 50 of these make up the hotel. Accommodations range from spacious guest rooms to deluxe suites offering many residential and eclectic touches.

Guest will find themselves surrounded by extraordinary luxury, reserved for the world’s most discriminating clientele.

The European-style ambience and service includes full concierge assistance, elevator attendants, valet parking, welcome gifts of Belgian chocolates and fresh flowers, state-of-the-art fitness centre, celebrity beauty salon and barbershop, full concierge service, Gilchrist & Soames toiletries, and Limousine and valet services.

Relax with in-room massage therapy, or take advantage of preferred ticketing for local theatre productions and sporting events.

At every turn, The Sherry reflects the intimacy and grace of another era, an approach that forms the core of the Mantis philosophy.
