"Located just below Central Park, this hotel houses a collection of more than 350 artworks—including notable pieces such as Sigmar Polke’s Siberian Meteorites and Marc Swanson’s Night Sky—and treats certain rooms as curated galleries. The Manhattan Suite, shaped by Tatar Art Projects to feel like the vacation home of a well-traveled New York collector, is a multiroom showcase of sculptures, photography, drawings, and collages by artists such as Erin Shirreff, Erin O’Keefe, Casey McCafferty, and Andy Burgess, complemented by dozens of art-focused coffee-table books." - 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
"If James Bond had an apartment in New York, it would probably look a lot like one of the guest rooms and suites here. It's all crisp, cool minimalism with contemporary furniture, stone floors, and dark wood. And even entry-level rooms clock in at 530 square feet, making them some of the biggest in the city. Take in city views and breakfast on the patio on one of several Terrace Suites. An entire day can be spent at the hotel's 25th-floor Spa Nalai. After a treatment, you can try the eucalyptus steam room, whirlpool, and saltwater lap pool, which has to be the most beautiful in Manhattan (and also features underwater speakers with a curated playlist by Carnegie Hall). After a day of respite, get ready for a night on the town with a hair treatment and blowout at world-renowned Rossano Ferretti Hairspa. This is a chance to stay in one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan at the cross-section of the city; Central Park is just a block away." - CNT Editors
"Best for: Swimming pool accessNeighborhood: Midtown With a prime location on Billionaire’s Row, the Park Hyatt is within walking distance of many of the city’s top family-friendly attractions, from Central Park to Rockefeller Center to the Museum of Modern Art. But we also don’t blame you if you have a hard time peeling yourself away from the hotel—the property has recently introduced new family suites, which are kitted out with robes in sizes for the whole family, in-room tents complete with a stuffed animal (my daughter opted to sleep here instead of her bed), and Johnson & Johnson toiletries for the youngest travelers. Other on-site amenities include an indoor saltwater pool on the 25th floor, mocktails for kids at the restaurant The Living Room, and a concierge who can arrange for expert childcare if parents want a night on the town. Address: 153 W 57th St, New York, NY 10019"
