This
beauty at Trump International Hotel & Tower on Central
Park West amounts to an 11-room “mansion” with
six rooms overlooking the park. It has recently received a
$20-million museum-quality renovation at the hands of renowned
interior designer Hans Muller and his team of European craftsmen.
Both the enormous living room and formal dining room have
antique Versailles floors (as does the butler’s pantry),
and the library is done in mahogany from top to bottom. There’s
a palatial guest apartment as well as two wine cellars. Among
the numerous extraordinary bathrooms, highlighted by the his-and-hers
in the master suite, the most lavish of all is “hers”:
it’s the size of a studio apartment and its renovation
cost a cool million—not so shocking when you consider
that it’s done up in one of the world’s most coveted
gemstones, deep-blue lapis lazuli, offset with onyx and Giallo
di Siena marble.
$33 million.

THEREIN
LIES THE TUB
The

Danze collection. This sleek development will also offer a
myriad of building amenities, not least of which will be a
fantastic landscaped roof deck. Fall 2006. From $420,000.

HIGH-WATER
MARK
No
wonder the Gwathmey Siegel-designed Astor Place on Lafayette
Street is practically sold out! Every single fixture and finish
in these residences has been meticulously chosen. Among each
home’s assortment of master, secondary and guest baths,
the spa-like masters are standouts for their six-foot Kohler
soaking tubs with faucets exclusively designed by Gwathmey Siegel
for Watermark. The oversized stall showers feature frameless
floor-to-ceiling glass. Statuary White marble adorns the shower
stall and tub-surround and finishes off tub decks and enclosures.
You’ll also find custom-ebonized cherry wood cabinetry
edged with aluminum, mirrors with linear incandescent lighting,
and Robern recessed medicine cabinets. There are two separate
vanity areas—each with a sink carved of Absolute Black
granite in a honed finish. What’s left is priced from
$2.95 million to $12 million.
