A tribute to the unique, historic home and New York City treasure--a classic volume first published in 2005 is here revised and updated for today, with a new foreword by Mayor Bill de Blasio and First Lady Chirlane McCray. In this handsomely illustrated paean to New York City's mayoral residence, author Ellen Stern charts the history of Gracie Mansion from its construction as Archibald Gracie's country home in 1799, to its importance as the home of New York City's mayors and their families, to its splendid restoration in 2002, to its new role today as a center of diversity and openness--the people's house. Blending the mansion's architectural and decorative progress with anecdotal portraits of the mayoral families, exclusive interviews with many of those who have lived and worked here, and over 200 paintings and watercolors, letters and maps, invitations and elevations, designers sketches, and before and after photos, this beautiful volume, written with the cooperation of the Gracie Mansion Conservancy, is the definitive account of a beloved New York landmark that is more popular today than ever before.

An inspiring addition to interior design aesthetics, Graduate Hotels is a collection of meticulously hand-crafted boutique hotels in college towns, designed to evoke the glory days, sleepless nights, and the spirited, beautiful memories of college culture.  Graduate Hotels spaces uniquely connect with guests on a visceral level. Each hotel is its own immersive experience of inspired textures and contrasts that captures the college experience in full. This book follows suit: a 272-page tome beautifully designed in the style of a college yearbook that tells deep and nuanced interior design stories, which reflect each college town where a Graduate Hotel resides. Graduate Hotels is as easily at home in the interior design section of a bookstore as the travel, art, or architecture sections. The book is as useful for design inspiration and mood boards as it is for wanderlust and adventure planning.
