Our Story
Nearly a century of legacy, reinvention, and an unwavering commitment to the art of hospitality.
A Legacy of Excellence
Founded in 1928 by visionary hotelier Frederick Ashworth, The Grand Horizon was born from a singular ambition: to create the most extraordinary guest experience New York City had ever seen.
Nearly a century later, that promise endures. We've hosted heads of state, celebrated artists, and countless families seeking moments of pure joy. Through decades of reinvention, our soul remains unchanged — a relentless devotion to the art of making every guest feel truly extraordinary.
Today, The Grand Horizon stands as one of Manhattan's most iconic addresses, seamlessly blending old-world grandeur with contemporary luxury.
