The Mansfield

In 1890, one of the most celebrated Architects of the era, James Renwick, was retained to design the Mansfield Hotel. His masterful works include Saint Patrick?s Cathedral, The New York Public Library and St. Bartholomew?s Church, as well as many other historic buildings throughout the city. Constructed in the popular Beaux Arts style, and influenced by neoclassical Roman and Greek architecture, the Mansfield was originally built as a hostelry for well-heeled bachelors and socialites. Notables such as painter John Butler Yeats, father of the poet William Butler Yeats, stayed to experience a thriving New York following his immigration from Ireland. During the 1950s, the Mansfield was home to Maz von Gurach, who was believed to be the inspiration for Jay Gatsby, from F. Scott?s Fitzgerald?s ?The Great Gatsby. ? Wi-Fi is included for all GTA clients.

The hotel is located just off of Fifth Avenue at 44th Street, residing within the historic preservation district of Midtown Manhattan, and deep in the heart of the Theater District. The hotel is within a short walk of the finest Fifth Avenue stores, Bryant Park, Times Square, Broadway, Grand Central Station, St. Patrick?s Cathedral, Rockefeller Center, the Empire State Building, Madison Square Garden and the Radio City Music Hall.
