Step back in time to 19th-century New York at this intimate, romantic brownstone hideaway located in a row of 1830s townhouses just south of Gramercy Park. The high- ceilinged guest rooms feature antiques, four-poster beds and couches without sacrificing modern amenities like remote climate control and Internet access.
