The Greenwich Hotel has 88 rooms, with an incredible 11 categories to choose from. No two are alike. The furnishings draw from a wide range of cultural influences - from the hand-loomed Tibetan silk rugs to the patterns of Moroccan tile. From the custom English leather sofas to the reclaimed pine, oak, chestnut, and hemlock wood details throughout, natural materials have been used. Rooms have Dux beds, oak floors, soaking tubs, and small libraries.

The amenities and services are as well considered as the design. Houseguests can opt for in-room check-in, newspapers from their hometowns delivered daily, and a refrigerator stocked with specialty items of their choice.

Additionally, the Greenwich offers a full array of amenities that sophisticated travellers have come to expect. This includes HDTV, iPod docking stations, free wireless Internet, and a range of bath and body products developed especially for the hotel.

he Greenwich is home to the New York outpost of Chef Agostino Sciandri’s famed Ago. The menu includes simple salads and pizzas, home-made pasta and risotto, and exceptional selection of fish and meat. It also will include Chef Ago’s signature dish, Bistecca alla Fiorentina – a 22-ounce Tuscan-style T-bone steak prepared in the wood burning oven. The restaurant’s bar and dining room, designed and crafted by Grayling Design, evokes an Italian ristorante, with exposed brick walls and hand finished wood panelling. A section of the ceiling is lined with over 90,000 corks, a nod to the restaurant’s extensive wine list. Ago will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week as well as provide 24 hour room service to the hotel.

Blue Lizard Travel will happily pre-book a table for you at The Greenwich Hotel AGO restaurant.
