Located along what’s been dubbed Billionaire’s Row, Park Hyatt New York occupies the first 25 floors of Pritzker Prize-winning architect Christian de Portzamparc’s One57 skyscraperone of midtown’s newest landmarks. The fine design aesthetic carries over to the hotel’s interiors, which suggest a tony Manhattan home, as designed by Canadian firm Yabu Pushelberg. The color scheme of soothing neutrals and dark purples and blues puts you at ease, as do the inspiring views. The hotel’s staff is ready with a warm welcome and equipped with iPads to help field any requests.

While New York beckons with countless museums to explore, restaurants to savor, and shops to browse, there’s much to see within the Park Hyatt itself. The hotel features a 351-piece art collection spread throughout the public and private spaces. Ten pieces were specifically designed for the hotel, and its newest acquisition is the Swarm XI light art sculpture from Random International.

The Living Room overlooks Carnegie Hall and offers cocktails and small plates perfect for a pre-theater meal.

Park Hyatt New York works with New York institutions like Carnegie Hall, the Central Park Conservancy, and Barneys New York to create enhanced experiences for guests. One example can be found at the gym and pool, where a custom-created soundtrack by Carnegie Hall plays in the halls and around its stunning lap pool.

After a few nights of the Park Hyatt New York treatment, you may be tempted to extend your stay—surely, the everyday hustle can wait a little longer.
