The Lombardy Hotel located at 111 East 56th Street (between Park Avenue and Lexington Avenue in New York City. Built in the 1920s by William Randolph Hearst for his mistress, silent film star Marion Davies, The Lombardy has been the New York residence of film stars like Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Currently, the building still feels like a grand New York apartment house. The apartments are individually owned and decorated co-ops, mostly by wealthy non-US citizens.
The hotel was renovated in 1996, at which time the front lobby was decorated by Robert Denning, whose Manhattan residence was here and whose firm, Denning & Fourcade, maintained offices in the building until his death. Several years earlier, Denning had redecorated the house restaurant.
There are 45 one-bedroom suites, with marble bathrooms and entrances, and some studios available in addition to the apartments where the owners are in permanent residence.
