The new break kit stops at the Gramercy Park Hotel sale

The hottest spot this week was the Gramercy Park Hotel Liquidation Sale.

The two-story hotel – which has hosted guests including Madonna, the Rolling Stones and John F. Kennedy – closed during the pandemic, and an auctioneer held an all-day sale of furniture, fittings and fixtures.

Supposedly, the nightlife impresario Nur Khan – the creative director of the celebrity-friendly Rose Bar in the first decade of the century – was one of the souvenir seekers. He threw the legendary concert series there, in which Axl Rose, Black Keys and Liza Minnelli performed.

Mercer Street Hospitality CEO John McDonald, Bronson Van Wyck event organizer, and Avenue Magazine’s editor-in-chief Peter Davis were also seen browsing through items for sale, which included everything from tables, desks, lamps and chairs to umbrellas.

The items are rumored from $ 25 to $ 2,500.

The history of the spot will not be forgotten. The roof was the site of Humphrey Bogart’s wedding to his first wife, while Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Clash, and Blondie were also there.

Gonzo’s journalist Hunter S. Thompson was supposed to be organizing drug orgies there.

In 2009, Page Six noticed Anne Hathaway “smoking and playing pool” at a bar.

Our spies saw Derek Jeter go after his wife Hannah Davis there, and in 2018 we caught Lady Gaga performing a surprise.

Opened in 1925, the hotel was built on the site where writer Edith Wharton and architect Sanford White once lived. Herbert Weissberg bought it in 1958 and ran it until the year before his death in 2003.

It was purchased by Aby Rosen and Ian Schrager. In 2010, Schrager sold his shares to Rosen.
