Situated a block from Manhattan’s Bryant Park, the newly launched Chemists’ Club Hotel is a refreshed concept of the former Dylan Hotel, owned by Azora and managed by Crestline Hotels & Resorts.

The recent renovation breathes new life into the historic building, dating back to 1911, which once housed the prestigious Chemists’ Club, a gathering place for scientific pioneers.

Inside the Chemists’ Club Hotel

Designed by Madrid-based Ilmiodesign, the boutique hotel features 107 guestrooms and suites.

Among the accommodations is the Alchemy Suite, which boasts original gothic arches and stained-glass windows; an exclusive penthouse with a terrace offering sweeping skyline views; and nine Junior Suites with separate sitting areas and luxurious amenities.

Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the hotel’s artistic heritage, thanks to works by renowned artists and sculptors—such as Marcos Castillo and Carlos Bustamante—that pay homage to the legacy of the original Chemists’ Club.

Housed on the main floor and beloved by locals and celebrities alike, Benjamin Steakhouse offers a quintessential New York dining experience in a timeless setting.
