The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection

What The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection does

The Lexington Hotel, Autograph Collection is a 725-room historic Art Deco hotel located at 511 Lexington Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York. Originally built in 1929 by the architectural firm Schultze & Weaver, the property was comprehensively renovated and rebranded in 2004 as part of Marriott International's Autograph Collection of boutique hotels. The hotel is privately owned and operated by MCR Investors LLC, a New York-based hotel investment and management firm. The property sits within walking distance of Grand Central Terminal, the United Nations, the Chrysler Building, Rockefeller Center, Times Square, and Central Park.

The hotel's product portfolio spans six room tiers (Standard Queen ~150 sq ft through One-Bedroom Suite ~700 sq ft) plus six specialty suites themed around historical figures and venues — including the Norma Jeane Suite (Marilyn Monroe), Hemingway Suite, Lady Ella Suite (Ella Fitzgerald), Arthur Godfrey Suite, Hawaiian Room, and The Conservatory. On-site amenities include The Stayton Room (a Prohibition-themed bar and restaurant), an on-site Crunch Fitness center, valet parking with EV charging, pet-friendly accommodations, WRIGHT Bedding mattresses, and approximately 3,400+ square feet of meeting and event space across multiple venues. Technology comprises standard hospitality property management and reservation systems integrated into Marriott's global platform, with mobile key functionality noted as coming soon.

Revenue is generated through five primary streams: transient room revenue across 725 keys (the dominant stream), food and beverage from The Stayton Room, valet parking ($80-$100/day), meeting and event venue rentals, and ancillary fees (pet cleaning, late checkout, EV charging). Distribution is multi-channel: Marriott.com global reservation system and the Bonvoy loyalty program form the backbone, supplemented by direct website booking, phone reservations, and a dedicated group sales inquiry process for blocks of 10+ rooms. Customer segments are diversified across business and leisure travelers, corporate groups, pet owners, and culture-oriented guests drawn by the hotel's Jazz Age heritage and celebrity provenance. Pricing is dynamic and quote-based, with advance booking discounts up to 25% and a daily destination fee bundling F&B credit, fitness passes, Citi Bike passes, and Wi-Fi.
