1961 In March Sidney Schwartz, a real estate investor, acquired the Hotel Beverly from International Hotels. By June, the hotel was leased by Henry Speter and Murray Knight.

1997 The Hotel Beverly was acquired by a company associated with the Denihan family: the Manhattan East Suite Hotels, then with nine hotels in NYC. The Hotel Beverly then had 188 rooms and suites.

The architectural beauty of Hotel Beverly was the subject of Georgia O'Keeffe’s artwork. O'Keeffe fell in love with the view while she was house hunting. Thirty stories high, overlooking Lexington Avenue inspired her to paint "New York Night."

The painting features Hotel Beverly and the iconic rosette at the top of the building. Finished in 1929, the piece's nocturnal aspect is described best

by O'Keeffe, "like a very tall thin bottle with colored things going up and down inside it."
