Upscale shopping at Bloomingdales

A New York shopping experience fit for a queen

In 1886, Bloomingdales made the visionary move from its Lower East Side location to its current Uptown location at 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. Steadily, the store expanded, and by the 1920s, Bloomingdales covered an entire city block. By the 70s, Bloomingdales was the place to see — and be seen. Even Queen Elizabeth paid Bloomingdales a visit, dazzled by the emergence of designers like Ralph Lauren, Perry Ellis and Norma Kamali.

Guests of The Sherry-Netherland can easily reach this New York shopping landmark, taking a leisurely 8-minute stroll along East 59th Street.

Exclusively Bloomingdales, the retailer built its own capsule collection in 2014, teaming up with 100 designers for 1,000 exclusive pieces shoppers will only find at Bloomingdales. Some collection standouts: Don von Furstenberg’s iconic wrap dresses, Dylan Gray’s line of luxe basics and Aqua Glam’s trendy metallic jewelry.
