On May 1st, the top luminaries in fashion, helmed by Queen Anna Wintour herself, will hold their annual fundraiser. The Met Gala supports the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s the top event of the year for celebrities, which it will be celebrity sightings galore. Yes, a number of celebrities already call NYC home, or at least have an apartment in the city. If not though, they’re going to need a place to crash for the Met Gala 2023. So, these are the top hotels where celebrities stay for the Met Gala. While a number of the places where celebrities stay for the Met Gala are the same every year, this year there are some new top hotels.

The Classic Hotels Where Celebrities Stay for the Met Gala

Every year, The Mark and The Carlyle hotels are known as the top places where celebrities stay for the Met Gala. First, they are within walking distance to the Met. However don’t expect anyone to huff it on foot in their gowns and jewelry. It’s not just the Met Gala 2023 though that celebs call The Mark and The Carlyle hotels home. All year round, you’ll be able to celeb spot because the hotels are classically exquisite.

The Mark and The Carlyle hotels are not only where celebs stay for the Met Gala, but also where there are post-party drinks in The Bar. Don’t expect to get entry though, unless you are invited. The Met post-parties are as exclusive as the Met Gala itself.

A change in the classic hotels this year where celebs stay for the Met Gala is the absence of The Surrey. The hotel is currently closed, but we’re sure when it returns, it will be on the list again for the top celebrity Met Gala hotels.

The New Top Celeb Hotel for The Met Gala

Before we get into the list, we have to name the new top hotel, where celebrities stay for the Met Gala. Aman NYC opened last year, and by far has the most luxurious and spacious hotels in the city. Their entry level room is like a suite at a normal luxury hotel. Each room has a fireplace, stunning bathrooms and the signature Aman modern aesthetic. There’s also the best spa in NYC, where you could disappear for a day of pampering with traditional European and Turkish hammam treatments.

Maybe the top reason that Aman NYC is where celebrities stay for the Met Gala is because it’s a private club. Only hotel guests and members of the elite Aman Club are allowed in the hotel. So celebrities have a paparazzi free-zone and oasis in NYC when they’re not in the Met Gala 2023 madness.
