Concierge Collection
We are planning to utilize a couple of the resorts offered through the
Concierge collection and are hoping that those of you who have used
points for the Concierge collection can add some insight. Gramercy Park is the only surviving private park in New York City. It
was developed by Samuel Ruggles who bought this land in 1831 from
one-time mayor James Duane. Ruggles drained the marshy site and laid out
66 building lots around a central park. This pattern of development
enabled Ruggles to sell lots on the premise that homeowners would have
access to a private park -- an exclusive privilege that still draws
residents to this location today. The first brick row houses were
designed and built by A. J. Davis in the 1840s-50s during the heyday of
brownstone construction, and occupied by important professionals and
politicians. In the late 19th and 20th centuries the area was home to
performing and visual artists. In 1966 the park and surrounding blocks
were designated an historic district.
