The Fifth Avenue Hotel
History & Story
Steeped in history, The Fifth is composed of The Mansion, a historic landmark designed by storied architecture firm McKim, Mead & White, and The Tower, a striking new 24-story glass tower designed by Perkins Eastman and PBDW Architects. The site was once the home and carriage house of Ms. Charlotte Goodridge, a leading figure in Manhattan’s Gilded Age society. Throughout the late 19th century, the site was synonymous with her infamous receptions and musicals, much-anticipated highlights of New York’s social season. In 1907, The Mansion was sold, and a new vision emerged: the five-story Renaissance-style palazzo by McKim, Mead & White. The Mansion sustained a meticulous, full-scale renovation under the guidance of Perkins Eastman, restoring the brick and limestone building to its former grandeur.
Date Renewal
In 2014, Flâneur Hospitality—an initiative founded by real estate entrepreneur and world traveler Alex Ohebshalom—began a thoughtful restoration of the Gilded Age building. Each aspect of The Fifth Avenue Hotel is inspired by Ohebshalom’s travels and is designed to encourage discovery and cultivate curiosity while offering a sanctuary of unparalleled comfort, intimacy, and service.
Date added extensions
The Fifth’s eclectic interiors were designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio (MBDS). Among his numerous accolades, Brudnizki is regularly listed in House and Garden’s Top 100 Leading Interior Designers, AD100, Elle Decor’s A-List, and Debrett’s 500 Most Influential People in the UK.
