Hotels Nicki Minaj Has Stayed At

A vast glass-roofed Winter Garden gives The Landmark London its defining sense of scale, with palms rising above tables set for afternoon tea. The central courtyard began as a place for arrivals by horse and carriage when the property opened in 1899 as the Great Central Hotel, built to accompany Marylebone Station. That railway-hotel ambition still shapes the experience: generous rooms, classic furnishings and marble bathrooms carry the grandeur upstairs, while the Winter Garden anchors dining with seasonal British cooking. On Marylebone Road, a short walk from Regent’s Park, the hotel makes its strongest impression through this extraordinary interior—a courtyard that has evolved from an arrival point into the center of a stay.

Ludwig Bemelmans’s murals and nightly piano at Bemelmans Bar give The Carlyle an identity that extends well beyond its guest rooms. Cabaret at Café Carlyle makes music central to this Upper East Side Art Deco landmark, where art and entertaining shape the public spaces. In The Gallery, decorator Renzo Mongiardino took inspiration from Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, creating a distinctive setting for afternoon tea. Upstairs, rooms include designs by Tony Chi and Thierry Despont, while suites furnished with original artwork carry a residential character. Central Park, Madison Avenue, and nearby galleries put the neighborhood within easy reach, but the hotel’s own rooms for music, drinks, and conversation are reason enough to spend an evening here.
