The bar is named for the murals that adorn its walls by Ludwig Bemelmans, writer and illustrator of the beloved Madeline children\u2019s books. Madeline may live in an old house in Paris covered in vines, but her spirit lives on at the hotel \u2014 just like Eloise at the nearby Plaza Hotel.<\/p>\n<p>But Madeline will get an even bigger spotlight next month, when the Carlyle\u2019s restaurant, renamed Dowling\u2019s, reopens. Five never-before-seen Ludwig Bemelmans artworks that evoke the sophisticated playfulness of the Madeline children\u2019s books will grace the walls of the eatery. The hotel purchased them for $422,800 at a Sotheby\u2019s auction earlier this year, Side Dish can exclusively reveal.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s part of a $120 million renovation that began before the pandemic and included a total redo of the restaurant and a revamp of the hotel\u2019s 190 rooms. While the designs are modern \u2014 thanks to Tony Chi and other designers \u2014 there are some Art Deco touches inspired by The Carlyle\u2019s original designer, Dorothy Draper.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure

collaboration with Frame \u201cwas born in the early days of the pandemic, when we couldn\u2019t visit our favorite places, like the Carlyle, yet wanted to bring that experience to our customers,\u201d said Erik Torstensson, co-founder and creative director of Frame.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>One part of the beloved hotel won\u2019t open right away: Cafe Carlyle, where generations listened to the late Bobby Short, however, isn\u2019t set to reopen until the beginning of next year, said Carlyle hotel manager Andrew Archibald.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the hotel is already in talks to bring back performers like singer\/songwriter Belinda Carlisle and Isaac Mizrahi, the fashion designer and TV personality who last performed at Cafe Carlyle a week before lockdown, in early March 2020, though he graced a few \u201cvirtual\u201d performances during lockdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Mizrahi tells Side Dish he is looking forward to a return to the classic New York space.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s one of the last places on earth where you can go and where you are assured of a very sophisticated evening, where you are guaranteed a great drink, a great show and some great food,\u201d Mizrahi said. \u201cIt isn\u2019t exactly old world, but it is classic New York,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the cafe\u2019s success is the \u201cintimacy of the space,\u201d added Archibald, and that\u2019s why they will likely wait until the early months of 2022 to reopen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large

little part of our heart is missing without it,\u201d Archibald said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStill,\u201d he added, \u201cthe response to the opening of Bemelmans Bar has been second-to-none. The support has been incredible from the local community. It\u2019s full every night, and that puts a lot of atmosphere and energy back into the hotel. The noise echoes throughout the hotel lobby. There is a real buzz because of the bar.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just like the iconic Bemelmans murals, the new Bemelmans art in the restaurant will also resonate with generations who grew up reading Ludwig Bemelmans\u2019 beloved tales of Madeline, first published in 1939.<\/p>\n<p>While the Plaza Hotel has Eloise, who lived at the hotel with her pet turtle, dog and nanny, the Carlyle has Madeline, written and illustrated by Bemelmans. According to the books, she lived \u201cin an old house in Paris that was covered with vines\u2026 [as one of] twelve little girls in two straight lines,\u201d but she lives on in the spirit of the iconic murals at Bemelmans Bar.<\/p>\n<p>The new pieces, which will be in the restaurant, were part of the Sotheby\u2019s sale, \u201cMadeline and More: The Whimsical World of Ludwig Bemelmans,\u201d which was held in person\u00a0 last Feb. 17 through March 3.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant itself is named after Robert Whittle Dowling, an urban planner and former owner of The Carlyle.
