The Rose Bar and Jade Bar

Owned by artist Julian Schnabel and hotelier-to-the-stars Ian Schrager, Manhattan's luxurious Gramercy Park Hotel has an unparalleled location next to Gramercy Park, celebrity chef Danny Meyer's Italian restaurant, Maialino, and not one but two bars beloved by the city's boldfaced names. The dimly lit spaces have red and white tiled floors, an impeccably stocked oak bar, plush velvet chairs and no shortage of upper-echelon international travelers, New York Times Style section editors, wannabe models slash actors, and music executives with multiple smartphones. The incredible art collection includes a 15-foot original by Andy Warhol, and, of course, several pieces by Schnabel himself.
