A new hotel just entered the midtown lodgings list—the Chemists’ Club Hotel, two blocks from Bryant Park.
Formerly the Dylan Hotel, the Chemists’ Club Hotel is a renovated boutique hotel that “revives the striking building that dates back to 1911” and was once used as, you guessed it, a chemists’ club where scientists met on a “social floor,” worked on a “scientific floor,” rented out one of its three laboratories, and stayed in its residential spaces until 1987 when the building sold, according to the organization, which still exists!

Designed by Ilmiodesign, the hotel at 52 East 41st Street has 107 guest rooms and suites, a fitness center, a dedicated concierge and the acclaimed restaurant Benjamin Steakhouse, which remains.
A look inside the rooms unveils the dramatic architecture of the Alchemy Suite that has original gothic arches and stained-glass windows, and the Penthouse Suite, which boasts a terrace with sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, and nine Junior Suites that have their own separate sitting areas. If you travel with your family or friends, you can opt for a deluxe double room.
“Guests are encouraged to immerse themselves in the hotel’s artistic heritage, featuring works by renowned artists and sculptors–like Marcos Castillo and Carlos Bustamante–that celebrate the time honored story of the original Chemists’ Club,” the hotel’s press release states.
Starting at $300 per night, The Chemists’ Club Hotel is now taking reservations, which you can book here or on booking.com.
