My spouse and I stayed at the Yale Club for one night in
early November 2005 to attend a wedding on-site (otherwise, this is not a public
hotel; it is a private club and hotel for graduates of Yale and reciprocal
schools). Steps from Grand Central Terminal, The Yale Club of New York City was
designed in 1915 by James Gamble Rogers, architect of Yale’s Sterling Memorial
Library as well as the Harkness Quad and Tower. With over $10 million in recent
capital improvements, the 22-story neoclassical clubhouse combines traditional
elegance with contemporary amenities. The Yale Club is located at 50 Vanderbilt
Avenue on the corner of 44th Street, across from the western entrance to Grand
Central Terminal. Within the club, you have all kinds of options: from the
magnificent views from the rooftop terrace to the newly renovated Tap Room to
the comfy and casual Grill. Meet for drinks at the Main Bar, or relax by the
fire in the Lounge. On the fifth and sixth floors, you’ll find state of the art
cardio and weight training equipment as well as free weights, squash courts,
and a plunge pool. Both the mens’ and womens’ locker rooms come with sauna and
steam rooms and access to the massage studio. Whether you’re coming to the city
for a special event, or just stopping over on your way to some faraway place,
consider the club your home away from home. With a choice of single rooms, doubles,
or two-room suites, you’ll find that every room is pleasant, with cable TV and complimentary
wireless Internet access. The Yale Club of New York City also offers an elegant
setting for any special occasion. Whether you’re planning a lavish wedding or a
high-tech training seminar, a large holiday party or small board meeting, our
professional event planners can work with you to make sure every detail is
covered.
