The Chatwal Leaving Hyatt, Becoming The Wolseley Hotel New York
The Chatwal is leaving the Hyatt portfolio, and now we know exactly when and what’s next for the luxury Midtown Manhattan property.
Hyatt’s booking notice says The Chatwal will transition to a hotel brand outside the Hyatt portfolio at of September 29, 2026. The property at 130 West 44th Street will become The Wolseley Hotel New York, with Minor Hotels currently targeting an early 2027 opening.
The change is more than just a reflagging. The Wolseley Hotel New York will be the first hotel under the new The Wolseley Hotels luxury brand, making the New York property the brand’s inaugural location.
The renovated hotel will continue to have 76 rooms and suites and will feature The Wolseley New York restaurant, a cellar-level speakeasy bar, and a wellness and wellbeing center. The property occupies the landmark building originally constructed in 1905 as the clubhouse for The Lambs Club.
For World of Hyatt members, however, the important part is that this will no longer be a Hyatt property after the transition. Travelers with reservations around or after the changeover should check their bookings and contact Hyatt or their booking provider if necessary.
