Park Hyatt New York sets new standard of luxury in Manhattan

Hyatt Hotels Corporation’s latest addition features 210 luxurious guestrooms, including 92 premier suites with floor-to-ceiling windows. The hotel is nestled within the first 25 floors of the 90-storey One57 skyscraper, designed by Christian de Portzamparc.

At 475 ft², the standard rooms at Park Hyatt New York are among the largest in New York City, while the majority of the hotel’s deluxe rooms span 530 ft².“The opening of Park Hyatt New York marks a significant milestone for the Park Hyatt brand, giving it representation in a key market and boosting the brand’s global visibility. It introduces a new way of defining and delivering luxury for both guests and locals,” said Katherine Melchior Ray, Vice President of Luxury Brands for Hyatt. “We dug deep into consumer insights to see what today’s luxury travellers want and need, and we know that in addition to luxurious accommodations, culinary expertise, and high-quality service, they also want a personalised experience. We believe that Park Hyatt New York delivers this through locally authentic relationships and programs that will redefine the standard for luxury in New York City.”

Park Hyatt New York is working with Carnegie Hall, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), the Central Park Conservancy and Sotheby’s, among others, to offer its guests personalised, culturally authentic New York experiences entirely unique to the hotel. Art enthusiasts will enjoy a collection of 350 gallery-worthy artworks from Ellsworth Kelly, Rob Fischer, and Robert Longo with at least ten 10 pieces designed specifically for the hotel. Park Hyatt New York is also the only hotel worldwide to offer Tubereuse 40 bath amenities by Le Labo Fragrances, a fragrance exclusively blended for the hotel.

“From its inception, Park Hyatt New York was thoughtfully crafted with meticulous attention to detail to offer our guests an unprecedented and authentic New York experience that sets us apart from any other local luxury hotel,” commented Walter Brindell, General Manager, Park Hyatt New York and Area Vice President, Park Hyatt Hotels, North America. “We are absolutely thrilled to be opening in one of the most important cities in the world, and we hope our guests will enjoy their experience here as much as we have enjoyed bringing the Park Hyatt brand to New York.”

Interior design firm, Yabu Pushelberg, created the vision for Park Hyatt New York’s interior design, which was inspired by New York’s most illustrious Upper East Side homes. The hotel’s design captures the energy and vibrancy of the city, utilising signature elements tastefully layered with modern materials and furnishings. The firm curated intimate public and personal areas filled with art and custom furnishings.

Executive Chef Sebastien Archambault leads Park Hyatt New York’s culinary operations, including the dining experiences in the restaurant, The Back Room at One57, The Living Room, and the hotel’s event spaces. Each venue is designed to become a destination in its own right for culinary-savvy New Yorkers, as well as hotel guests. The inviting 70-seat Living Room features a bar that overlooks historic Carnegie Hall and leads guests to The Back Room at One57, an American grill that seats 96 diners and will open August 25.

The hotel’s exquisite Onyx Room, featuring illuminated white onyx walls and soaring heights, offers extraordinary dining and entertainment experiences and is large enough to host a seated dinner for 220 or a standing reception for 450. Additionally, Park Hyatt New York includes spacious residential-style meeting spaces and an executive boardroom with an exclusive outdoor terrace that will open later this year.

Park Hyatt New York’s breathtaking three-story aerie on the 25th floor features a steam room, hydrotherapy hot tub, private changing rooms and indoor swimming pool with underwater speakers playing an exclusive soundtrack from Carnegie Hall. A 24/7 state-of-the-art fitness centre overlooking the aerie will promote health and wellbeing activities for guests, while Spa Nalia offers signature treatments.

With the opening of Park Hyatt New York, Hyatt is now represented in Manhattan with eight hotels, including Grand Hyatt New York, Andaz Wall Street, Andaz 5th Avenue, Hyatt 48 Lex, Hyatt Union Square, Hyatt Times Square, and Hyatt Place Midtown-South. There also are two other Hyatt-branded hotels under development in New York – Hyatt House New York/Chelsea and Hyatt Place New York Times Square.
