Where to Live
The Palace: This hotel was home to the Van Der Woodsen’s in Season 1 while their apartment was under renovation. Located on Madison Ave in Midtown, this luxurious 4.5 star hotel offers a central location, tiffany glass windows and coffered ceilings, spacious high-end rooms, a fitness center, delicious cuisine, and breathtaking views.
The Empire Hotel: Owned by Chuck Bass, various GG characters have stayed here throughout the show. The hotel has even created a Gossip Girl-themed cocktail menu! Check out the hotel’s 400+ luxury suites.
Williamsburg, Brooklyn: That’s right! Even if Blair Waldorf might not consider Brooklyn to be part of New York, the trendy area of Williamsburg, home to the Humphrey family loft, is actually an up-and-coming neighborhood. Not to mention, it’s significantly cheaper than living in Manhattan, and only a short train ride away!
