The Lap of Luxury

From personal experience, I can tell you living in Manhattan is expensive! When Frank Sinatra crooned “if I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere” he was probably talking about affording the rent. But after seeing the eye-popping amount of THIS property, my monthly check writing doesn’t seem so painful.

Located in the famous Plaza Hotel, the Astor Suite currently holds the title of New York’s Most Expensive Rental Apartment, commanding $165,000/month.Take a moment to catch your breath.

After a 2 year renovation headed by famed interior designer Steven Gambrel, the apartment is truly the ultimate lap of luxury. The same artisans who renovated Windsor Castle gave the apartment its luxurious face-lift. See those walls? They are leather rubbed with gold. And the entire apartment – lights, flatscreens, sound systems – is controlled at the touch of an Ipad. The fabulousity goes on and on. In a word: exquisite. If you have an extra $165,000 per month lying around, I highly recommend making this Home.
