The Towers at Lotte New York Palace
History & Story
The historic Villard Mansion, today part of The Towers at Lotte New York Palace, was originally constructed in 1882. Nearly 100 years later in 1980 when the hotel opened, The Villard Houses had been restored in preparation for a role as hotel public space. To return The Villard Houses to their original grandeur experienced artisans and craftsmen documented measurements and made detailed interior drawings of every room (the documents are in The Library of Congress archives). Just as in an archaeological dig or historic reconstruction, floorboards were individually removed and labeled to enable exact repositioning after re¬pair. All interior sections had to be re-laid in precisely the same pattern and position to reproduce the landmark-protected interiors. During excavation and reconstruction, carvings, railings, decorative plasterwork, paintings, chandeliers, stained glass, hardware and fragile arti¬facts were carefully crated and warehoused. Castings were made of fragile or¬namental plaster on ceilings and walls in case of vibration damage or the de¬sire to recreate a design in another part of the hotel.
