From the first glass of Ch*****ne to the final round of cocktails from the bar, private gatherings in The Orangery at Crosby Street Hotel have a wonderful sense of occasion. Whether you're hosting an afternoon tea, gathering for a celebratory brunch or enjoying an intimate dinner by candlelight, there's no other space quite like it in Manhattan.

Autumn has found its way onto the cocktail menu at Warren Street Hotel, bringing with it two new seasonal creations. Slice of Paradise combines delicate pear, spiced honey and bright citrus, while Orchard & Oak offers something a little richer, with bourbon, Calvados and subtle notes of caramel. Whichever you choose, autumn is looking rather good from here.

Tucked inside our John Nash-designed facade (the same neoclassical architect who designed Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square) lie a treasure trove of suites with unexpected design details. This spacious Suffolk Suite is just one example, with mystical tree-lined wallpaper, and intriguing artwork.

Meet ’s Terrace Suite, a feast for the eyes and a light-filled space with a surprise in every corner. Hand-stitched floral embroidery graces a headboard in the first bedroom. A doll house hides a bar and record player, complete with our favourite albums. Fabric animals wander across the backs of each dining room chair. A personal library frames both sides of the fireplace. This is a room in which to soak up every detail.

This terrace suite at captures the rhythm of Soho. Its beautiful headboard plays tribute to the neighbourhood’s rich musical heritage, while just a four-minute stroll outside, the legendary Ronnie Scott’s has welcomed icons from Ella Fitzgerald and Miles Davis to Nina Simone and Prince. The perfect combination for those who live, breathe (and even dream of) music.

Our warmest thanks to everyone who came to visit us at this year's Masters. From Wednesday's first glass of Ch*****ne to Sunday's final roast, we could not be prouder of , and the wider Firmdale team, for bringing the restaurant back for a fifth year at the fair.

What a pleasure it is to be part of this inspiring gathering of art and conversation in London's cultural calendar. Transporting our hotel's kitchens and hospitality to Regent's Park is no small feat: a heartfelt congratulations to our wonderful team.

There are few things quite as comforting as a Sunday Roast, particularly when Demkota Ranch prime rib and Yorkshire pudding are involved. Add golden potatoes roasted in duck fat, tender carrots and plenty of gravy, and you have a Sunday tradition worth keeping at Warren Street Hotel.
