Claridge's is a 15 story, 161 apartment rental at 101 West 55th Street, designed by Carrere & Hastings and completed in 1925. The building occupies the western blockfront of Sixth Avenue between 55th and 56th Streets, and Paul Rudolph redesigned its lobby in 1994.
The exterior has a four story limestone base, rusticated lower floors, dark brown brick façades, large masonry quoins, and multi paned windows. A fan shaped glass marquee marks the side street entrance, while thermopane windows installed in 2001 added sound insulation. In the 1960s, London Merchants Securities Ltd. pursued an office redevelopment of the site, but the plan was abandoned and the apartments were restored and rerented.
Apartments commonly retain 9 foot beamed ceilings, entry foyers or galleries, dining areas, deep closets, and wood burning fireplaces. Several layouts have separate service entrances, and upper floor residences face Central Park or Sixth Avenue. At penthouse level, an alcove studio opens to a large private terrace.
The building has a 24 hour doorman, concierge, fitness center, laundry room, and live-in superintendent, and pets are allowed. City Center shares the block, while Carnegie Hall and Central Park are a few blocks north; Rockefeller Center and the Fifth Avenue shopping corridor are also close by.
