if anybody loves cozy opulence . .
walk into the entrance of 5 Beekman St. . .
and therein find one of the most magnificent rooms in Manhattan . .
sit at the long, thickly-slabbed marble bar . .
accented with small, beautifully-designed, old fashioned shaded lamps . .
or plop into the comfort of a plush upholstered chair in the heart of "the Bar Room"
. . while away an hour or two, with friends & cocktails in elegant ambiance . .
or people-watch, alone . . with a sumptuous wine and your notepad . .
with painted portraits, one of Edgar Allen Poe, hanging on the walls . .
allow your eyes to wander up . . into the architectural extravagance
of an ornate, Victorian, balconied atrium . .
as cheap-looking as the whimsical tinker-toy tower residences are . .
(as pictured on these pages) . . here, next door, beneath and within
the gorgeous bowels of the high-toned, turreted, red-bricked hotel . .
(part of the same development) . . we have its opposite . .
This Fowler & Wells environment is a purely deluxe experience . .
hotel & residences . . two separate entrances on Nassau . .
"the bar room" (with atrium) entrance on Beekman . .
which then connects into the hotel lobby through a hallway . .
