Step Inside Manhattan's Gorgeous New Film Noir-Inspired Viceroy Hotel

The luxe Viceroy Hotel Group just opened its first Manhattan property on 57th Street, channeling the classic style of old New York. 

Designed by Roman and Williams — the team behind New York's Ace and Standard Hotels — the Viceroy New York evokes the notoriously stylish film noir era, with its vintage-inspired furnishings and black-and-white color palette.

HotelChatter called The Viceroy one of the "most anticipated openings of the year," and it's not hard to see why.

Rooms start at $559 for a double.

The Viceroy Hotel sits on West 57th Street, with views overlooking Central Park. The fluted glass bricks in the windows recall the neighborhood's pre-war design.

A strong black and white palette — even in the bathrooms — adds to the noir feel of the place.
