The crowning jewel of the illustrious Hotel Des Artistes is a 5,377sf penthouse featuring a 55' double-height Studio, one of the great rooms in all New York. This extraordinary residence represents a unique marriage of 2 exceptional 20th century architectural styles. Designed by late architectural icon, Ettore Sottsass, the apartment was last available 30 years ago.

Developed by Walter Russell, a self-taught painter, sculptor, musician and educator, as an artist's cooperative apartment in 1917, the 18-story (9 floors with 9 mezzanine levels) prewar residential coop was designed by George M. Pollard. Only hotels were permitted to be built to this height, so hotel amenities were provided. The building never functioned as a hotel although its amenities were and still are very impressive.

They include a swimming pool, 2 workout rooms, and squash court as well as a roof garden. The highly regarded restaurant, the Leopard at Des Artistes, is located on the first floor. The neo-Gothic-style building, features a canopied entrance and large lobby, has a both a concierge and attended elevator.

The Great Room adjoins a Dining Room with 17'9" ceilings.
