This summer, Upper West Side sophistication meets artisanal indulgence thanks to a delicious new partnership between The Wallace Hotel and Orwashers Bakery.
Blending boutique hospitality with one of New York City’s most beloved bakeries, this collaboration promises mouthwatering perks for hotel guests, devoted foodies, and neighborhood locals alike.
From a cheerful lobby event to a giveaway and ongoing guest discounts, the partnership is already making the Upper West Side feel even more like home.
Founded in 1916 on the Upper East Side, Orwashers has long been a staple of the city’s baking scene. Known for its Old World techniques, handmade breads, and small-batch sweets, the bakery has managed to honor its Eastern European roots while innovating for a modern audience.
With a focus on locally sourced ingredients and time-honored fermentation processes, Orwashers continues to delight New Yorkers more than a century later. Just 5 blocks south of the bakery’s Upper West Side location at 440 Amsterdam Avenue (between 81st and 82nd Streets), The Wallace Hotel offers refined comfort in the heart of the neighborhood.
Its oversized rooms, contemporary design, and quiet elegance provide a tranquil counterpoint to the city’s vibrant energy, making it a perfect partner for Orwashers’ warm, community-centered ethos.
To celebrate this partnership, The Wallace Hotel and Orwashers have teamed up for an Instagram giveaway. One lucky winner will receive a complimentary one-night stay at The Wallace, along with a curated selection of Orwashers’ most popular treats.
Participants can expect the kind of elevated experience both brands are known for – think flaky croissants, hand-cut sourdough, and, of course, Orwashers’ famed chocolate chip cookies.
If you’ve never had the pleasure of biting into one of those cookies, now’s the time. Recently ranked among the Top 5 Chocolate Chip Cookies in NYC by The Infatuation, Orwashers’ version is the perfect balance of crisp edges, soft center, and rich chocolate chunks. It’s no surprise they’ve become a cult favorite, and now guests of The Wallace can enjoy them as part of their stay.
On June 26, the Wallace Hotel brought a taste of summer nostalgia to life with a guest appreciation event in partnership with Orwashers Bakery. Guests were welcomed in the lobby with a cheerful lemonade stand and complimentary Orwashers chocolate chip cookies, a playful nod to childhood summers and neighborhood gatherings.
The event celebrated the hotel’s commitment to warm, thoughtful hospitality and marked a sweet milestone in its ongoing partnership with the beloved New York bakery. Guests sipped, snapped photos, and enjoyed a moment of surprise and delight, all part of The Wallace’s effort to create memorable, locally rooted experiences.
Beyond the giveaway and lobby celebration, The Wallace and Orwashers are offering an ongoing perk that guests can enjoy anytime. Simply show your room key at the Upper West Side Orwashers location, and you’ll receive 10% off your entire order. Whether you’re grabbing breakfast before heading downtown or picking up a box of pastries for a Central Park picnic, the discount is a delicious bonus.
Located just a short 10-minute walk from The Wallace, the Amsterdam Avenue bakery is a neighborhood gem in every sense. Its cozy atmosphere, glass display cases piled high with fresh loaves, and warm, inviting staff make it feel like a second home. Expect seasonal specials, incredible baguettes, and perfectly crusty rye bread that’s been fermented the old-fashioned way.
The Wallace and Orwashers share more than proximity – they’re both deeply rooted in what makes the Upper West Side so beloved: elegance without pretension, quiet excellence, and a sense of belonging. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a frequent guest, this collaboration brings a taste of the city’s culinary history right to your fingertips.
As The Wallace continues to build connections with local businesses and creatives, partnerships like this one help redefine what luxury hospitality can look like in a New York neighborhood hotel. It’s not just about upscale amenities or sleek design—it’s about the little touches that make a stay memorable, from a warm cookie at check-in to a perfectly brewed morning espresso paired with an Orwashers croissant.
If you’re planning a summer staycation, weekend visit, or just looking for a reason to spoil yourself, there’s never been a better time to experience the partnership between The Wallace and Orwashers Bakery. With this collaboration, each stay now comes with a side of sweetness, literally.
