Since it opened in 1931, the Carlyle hotel on Manhattan's Upper East Side has been a magnet for the world's most discerning travelers as well as a destination for in-the-know locals who flock to the hotel's Café Carlyle (which boasts live music from a rotating cast of bold-faced names) or Bemelmans Bar to soak up some of the city's most alluring atmosphere.
Now, the hotel—which has long been famous for its discretion—is letting down its guard just a bit thanks to a new documentary, Always at the Carlyle, by filmmaker Matthew Miele (he also made Scatter My Ashes at Bergdorf's).
The film features behind-the-scenes looks at how the hotel operates, including can't-miss interviews with a group of charming and unforgettable staffers, and interviews with some of its most famous guests, including Sofia Coppola, Lenny Kravitz, Wes Anderson, and Anjelica Huston, about what makes the hotel so very special.
