A swank new club opened its doors in NYC last weekend, and it just so happens to be a place inspired by and designed around media big-man Rupert Murdoch. While the question “Where would Rupert party?” probably has you answering “Nowhere near me,” read up on The Manor before you dismiss it.

Got a thing for cattle-horn tables and pony-skin banquettes? Check out the downstairs Trophy Room. Or chill in the main lounge with its leather-floored bar (artist’s rendering above), 24-carat-gold-trimmed DJ booth, multicompartment Japanese tansu cabinetry, and ingenious dumbwaiter system designed to keep behind-the-scenes operations like restocking the bar and food delivery firmly out of sight.
