The Bourbon Orleans, Audubon Cottages, Hotel Le Marais and Hotel Mazarin are luxury boutique hotels unparalleled in the city."
Cheyenne Jackson has starred on both "30 Rock" opposite Tina Fey and "Glee" where he played the voice coach for the group Vocal Adrenaline, and can currently be seen in the Ira Sachs film "Love is Strange" opposite Marissa Tomei, John Lithgow and Alfred Molina.

In concert, he has sold-out Carnegie Hall twice. “The Power of Two” in 2010 with Michael Feinstein followed by his solo debut concert with the NY Pops “Music of the Mad Men Era” in 2011. “The Power of Two” was hailed by the New York Times as “passionate", “impeccably harmonized” and “groundbreaking”. Variety acclaimed it as “dazzlingly entertaining”. “Music of the Mad Men Era” was lauded by critics, and the NY Daily News said, “Cheyenne Jackson has got it all and he showed it all: the voice, the moves, the quirky self-effacing humor. He gleamed like Don Draper’s Brylcreemed hair.”
