**squeak of excitement**

Shortly after I graduated I lived on the upper east side. I had a part time job at The Economist, and a part time job at Lilly Pulitzer on Madison Ave and I was thriving on carbs and cheap drinks.

This was when I first heard about The Carlyle and it became my forever hotel crush. I finally had the opportunity to stay there this year and let me just say, it did not disappoint.

The lobby itself is filled with fresh florals and a team that makes everyone feel like they belong.

A pre dinner drink anyone?

I enjoyed my Jackie O ( X-Rated Passion fruit Infused Vodka | Grey Goose | Lime Juice | Champagne Float | Fresh Thyme)

but Bemelmans has something for everyone.

All the spaces are beautiful but for some reason this little corner of the hotel really caught my eye. I imagined chatting away in a fancy dress discussing the genius of Dorothy Draper and where to get late night buffalo chicken.

I also really loved this little statue —>

-STEAK DIANE anyone?

immediately yes.

I wasted no time getting comfortable

and day dreaming of designing a new mural for my window view. (I have sketches!)

Before leaving the hotel, or just every day while you’re there and just need a little chat go visit the concierge. If you ask nicely they might show you a pet gala collage and feathers from a certain somebody’s Met Gala Gown. Also they probably have umbrellas?

Enjoy your stay!
