New York City: Yale Club (November 2005)


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.
