The restaurant, The Leopard at des Artistes, retained the original Cafe des Artistes wall murals of Howard Chandler Christy (also an early resident). The original Cafe des Artistes was a popular gathering spot for artists, musicians, writers, and actors dating back to the early 1900's.

The Hotel des Artistes is located on one of the most desirable tree-lined blocks on the Upper West Side right next to the 67th entrance to Central Park. This lovely block was known as "Artists Row' because of the many artist studios on West 67th Street.
