The 18-story Hotel des Artistes was designed by George M. Pollard, and developed by Walter Russell, in 1917 as an artist’s cooperative apartment. At the time, only hotels were permitted to be built to this height; so while the building never functioned as a hotel – hotel amenities were provided. Such include a swimming pool, two workout rooms, squash court, roof garden and highly-regarded restaurant, Leopard at Des Artistes. The neo-Gothic-style building also boasts a canopied entrance, large lobby, concierge and attended elevator.

Hotel des Artistes is individually landmarked and falls within the boundaries of the Upper West Side Historic District, as designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission.
