Overview
Bemelmans is a timeless New York institution nestled inside The Carlyle, A Rosewood Hotel. Named after Ludwig Bemelmans — the creator of the Madeline children's books — this iconic bar is adorned with his whimsical murals depicting Central Park in the charming hand of a storyteller. Since 1947, Bemelmans has drawn a distinctive mix of Manhattanites, travelers, and cultural luminaries for its sophisticated cocktails, live piano music, and old-world ambiance. Red leather banquettes, black granite tables, and the glow of a gold-leaf ceiling create a setting that feels both cinematic and intimate. Whether for a martini before dinner or a nightcap after a show, Bemelmans offers an experience steeped in character, history, and unmistakable style.
