Apartment 307 is a classic Hotel des Artistes one bedroom duplex, part of the 4 apartments that have comprised the Studio for a famous artist for the past five decades. The 18'9" tall living room has oversized windows overlooking the charming gardens of the brownstones on West 68th Street. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dining foyer. Washer/dryers are permitted with Board approval. Bring your architect or contractor to create this into your dream home. Apartment 307 can be combined with 305/306 to create an expansive 3+ BD home with shared terrace. Or it can be combined with 308 to create a 2BD residence. (see separate listings) Built in 1917 and designed by the architect George Mort Pollard as a home for artists, the Hotel des Artistes is a majestic 18-story building with a Gothic-style facade featuring charming gargoyles of painters, sculptors and writers. Among its former residents have been Noel Coward, Isadora Duncan, writer Fannie Hurst, Alexander Woollcott, Norman Rockwell and Joel Grey. Hotel des Artistes is a full service cooperative offering a full-time concierge and elevator operator, a swimming pool, a squash court with a basketball hoop, two workout rooms as well as a charming high-walled roof deck. A new French-American inspired restaurant, Air Cafe, to open in late 2026, will offer romantic indoor dining among the Howard Chandler Christy murals of dancing nymphs, as well as room service - all at a discount for des Artistes residents. Ideally located on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the Hotel des Artistes is close to the nature of Central Park, the cultural events of Lincoln Center and boutique shopping and popular dining on Columbus Avenue.
