f Manhattan’s 57th Street is not quite
the geographical center of the island, it
is certainly the commercial and cultural
heart of the city – home to some of the
world’s most glamorous shopping,
some of the city’s most beautiful and
important architecture, and unparalleled
cultural institutions.
But, on blocks west of Sixth Avenue, this
important east-west axis, full of buildings
built in the late 19th and early 20th century,
has lost some of its sheen in recent
decades. This seems to be changing now,
with several high-profile new buildings
bringing energy back to the area. As part
of this resurgence, Roman and Williams
has designed the new Viceroy Hotel on a
meaningful site at 120 West 57th Street
that is part of the connective tissue that
will begin to give the western half of 57th
Street its glory back.
