Hospitality Holdings is the visionary company behind New York’s Most Refreshingly Civilized Places to Meet. Since 1998, we’ve crafted timeless, sophisticated venues where atmosphere, service, and storytelling come together to create experiences that feel distinctly, and enduringly, Old New York. 

Founded by Mark Grossich, a pioneer in modern hospitality and design, the company is now led by his daughter, Katherine McGehee, who continues to advance his legacy of refinement, creativity, and authentic service. 

Over the years, our portfolio has expanded to include some of Manhattan’s most iconic and historically rich spaces. Our current establishments include: The Carnegie Club, Bookmarks Lounge, Madison & Vine, and The Empire Rooftop.

Each venue reflects our belief that hospitality is an art form. Whether it’s a handcrafted cocktail enjoyed among the bookshelves of a classic lounge, a power lunch at a Midtown restaurant, or sunset cocktails high above the city, our spaces are designed for conversation, connection, and comfort. 

Our values guide everything we do:

• Authenticity — honoring the character of every space and neighborhood and preserving the art and civility of New York nightlife.

• Excellence — committing to exceptional service, cuisine, and design.

• Creativity — designing unique and curated experiences, menus, and spaces to delight our guests.

• Integrity — operating with respect for every guest interaction and business decision. 

• Connection— fostering community through gracious, personal hospitality and a commitment to building and sustaining community with each neighborhood we serve. 

For over three decades, we’ve remained dedicated to one simple idea: creating places where New Yorkers and visitors alike can meet, celebrate, and feel at home in the world’s greatest city.
