The City House of the New York Athletic Club. From Wikipedia:

The City House, located at 180 Central Park South, occupies one of the finest locations in the city. A large, cavernous building built in the early twentieth century, it offers panoramic views of Central Park and is the athletic as well as the social hub of the Club. The 24 floor facility includes two restaurants, a cocktail lounge, library, ballroom, billiard room, meeting rooms, and eight floors of guest rooms for members and club guests. The athletic training floors include an olympic pool, basketball courts, boxing rings, a fencing and wrestling room, judo floor, and squash courts.Much more HERE (http://www.nyc-architecture.com/MID/MID090.htm).
