Gramercy Park Hotel is a luxury hotel located at 2 Lexington Ave., in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan adjacent to the park of the same name. It is known for its rich history. Humphrey Bogart married his first wife at the hotel and the Joseph P. Kennedy family, including a young John F. Kennedy, stayed on the second floor for several months, before the family moved to London. During the Great Depression, Babe Ruth was a regular bar patron – an autographed picture of Ruth hung in the bar until it disappeared in the 1960s and when James Cagney and his wife lived nearby at 34 Gramercy Park, they were frequent diners at the hotel. The hotel's reputation for discretion attracted such musicians as Bob Marley and Bob Dylan in the 1970s. Other former residents and guests include actor Matt Dillon, The Clash, Madonna, and David Bowie.
