Thompson Central Park New York, by Hyatt

"If you’re looking to hit the New York classics—Central Park, MoMA, Carnegie Hall, Wollman Ice Rink—and discover a few new favorites of your own, look no further than Thompson Central Park. A few blocks down from the park’s south entrance, Thompson is a classy midcentury modern hotel with touches of cool wood, sculptural lighting, and brassy finishes on bedframes and shelves that tie its sophisticated look together. Accommodations in the upper stories offer an even more deluxe experience with a ritzy private cocktail lounge and preferred access to on-site entertainment, wellness routines, and shopping in the area. Burger Joint, a once-secret hole-in-the-wall known for some of the best burgers in the city, and Indian Accent, an upscale take on traditional Indian recipes, add to Thompson’s considerable dining portfolio, but the hotel’s prime location in Midtown also means bucket list eats like Kwame Onwuachi’s Tatiana and seafood standout Marea are at your fingertips." - CNT Editors

"Frances Tiafoe stayed at Thompson Central Park New York for the duration of his U.S. Open performance."

"Those familiar with the Thompson’s downtown hotels—the Beekman and Gild Hall—know to expect a certain level of detail and style. Reborn under the Hyatt lifestyle hotel brand in November 2021, this uptown hotel plays on its location on the same block as Carnegie Hall with music-centric decor. For example, throughout the 587 rooms designed by Stonehill Taylor, you’ll find framed photographs of guitars and brass instruments on the walls. The rest of the decor veers toward midcentury with navy leather headboards against ribbed wooden walls, velvet couches, and Tivoli radios. Though Per Se and Nobu are just a short walk away, you’ll want to try something casual at Burger Joint, the hole-in-the-wall restaurant that’s remained untouched since the hotel used to be Le Parker Meridien." - Lyndsey Matthews
