A Night in the Park Hyatt New York's $35,000 Manhattan Suite - AFAR
"Opened in December 2024 as part of the hotel's 10th‑anniversary renovations, this flagship one‑bedroom suite is a 2,000‑square‑foot, $35,000‑a‑night residence on the 25th floor (with an option to expand to 3,500 sq ft, two more bedrooms, two balconies and a $50,000 nightly rate by adding two connecting suites). The layout includes one and a half bathrooms, a full kitchen with oven and stove, a dining room for eight, a bar and wine fridge, a giant living room with a 165‑inch TV, an office, and 18‑foot floor‑to‑ceiling windows; the bedroom features a Bryte bed with independently adjustable firmness, while the main bath offers a rainfall shower, soaking tub and a Toto toilet. Guests receive white‑glove, highly personalized service — from a Mercedes chauffeur pickup and pre‑arrival attention to in‑suite surprises like themed cakes, customized treats (decaf options, a jar of Oreos, a sculptural mini chocolate cake imprinted with the city skyline) and staff who know guests’ names — and the team can arrange private chefs, off‑site experiences, and special requests. The suite also grants direct access to the same‑floor renovated pool and spa complex (including the cavernous saltwater pool and hot tub with high ceilings, floor‑to‑ceiling windows and a cube chandelier), private use of the pool for an hour, theatrical room service presentations, and concierge services for private art and gallery tours or dining recommendations; breakfast at the hotel restaurant is included. Overall, the experience pairs over‑the‑top, VIP amenities with cozy, restorative moments — luxurious hardware and spectacular city views combined with highly curated, personal touches that make guests feel pampered and famous." - Billie Cohen
