Since Miky Grendene, the founder of Casa Tua, launched the exclusive private club’s first location in Miami Beach 25 years ago, members have urged him to open an outpost in New York. Grendene initially expanded to Aspen and Paris, and now, at last, he has found a home for Casa Tua in New York.
“I looked at countless locations,” Grendene said earlier this summer from his house in Aspen. “For me, it’s about quality, not quantity. Most of the time, quality and quantity don’t go hand in hand. So it was very important that if we opened in New York, it had to be in the right location,” he added. “At The Surrey, on the Upper East Side, I found the perfect place for us.”
Casa Tua is located inside the newly renovated Surrey, a Corinthia Hotel, and serves as the property’s official food and beverage partner.
Located on East 76th Street and Madison Avenue, The Surrey features 100 guest rooms and suites, 14 private residences, and an on-site spa.
