Minor Hotels has announced the global launch of The Wolseley Hotels, with its inaugural property set to open in New York City in early 2027.

Located steps from Bryant Park in Midtown Manhattan, The Wolseley Hotel New York will mark the brand’s first hotel worldwide and establish New York as the brand’s flagship destination. The opening will also introduce The Wolseley restaurant and bar to the United States for the first time, bringing one of London’s most celebrated dining institutions to an international stage.

The hotel occupies the landmark building at 130 West 44^th Street, originally constructed in 1905 as the clubhouse for The Lambs Club and designed by architectural firm McKim, Mead & White. Blending British sophistication with New York’s cultural energy and architectural pedigree, the property will usher in a new chapter of refined hospitality with 76 generously proportioned guestrooms and suites, thoughtfully conceived to combine classical elegance with modern restraint. The design brings together refined interiors, thoughtfully considered layouts, and bespoke craftsmanship, expressing the brand’s distinctive identity while delivering an effortless, contemporary luxury experience.

At the heart of the property will be The Wolseley New York – the brand’s first United States restaurant and the culinary flagship for North America. Serving as the social centre of the hotel, the restaurant will carry forward the grand café tradition and polished European sensibility established by The Wolseley Piccadilly, offering all-day dining, signature cocktails and a vibrant yet refined atmosphere.

Complementing the restaurant will be an intimate cellar-level speakeasy bar offering a more discreet and atmospheric setting, along with a fully reimagined wellness and wellbeing centre that reflects the brand’s commitment to holistic luxury and guest comfort.

As the inaugural property under The Wolseley Hotels brand, the New York flagship establishes the foundation for a selective and deliberate global rollout, with future properties planned for some of the world’s most cosmopolitan cities across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East. Each destination will be carefully curated to uphold the brand’s distinctive identity, where culinary excellence, elegant design and gracious service converge.
