The Fairfax Hotel, which opened in 1927 and whose Jockey Club bar and restaurant was a favorite for celebrity and politician sightings, will reopen as luxury senior living community Inspīr Embassy Row later this year.
The Fairfax Hotel closed permanently in 2021. Omega Healthcare Investors and Maplewood Senior Living acquired the property and have been converting the 174,000-square-foot, eight-story building into 174 luxury senior living apartments. Maplewood has promised award-winning chefs, spa-style wellness and A-list cultural events.
Currently, marketing material lists two restaurants, a coffee shop and rooftop lounge. Planned events include visiting authors, book signings, political debates, live performances, art classes, wine tastings and cooking demos on-site.
Maplewood has compared the property, once it opens, as akin to staying at a luxury hotel.
Westport, Connecticut-based Maplewood Senior Living owns and operates more than a dozen other senior living communities in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey and Ohio.
Inspīr Embassy Row will be the sister property to Maplewood’s original Inspīr-branded senior living community, the Inspīr Carnegie Hill, in Manhattan’s Upper East Side.
