Gansevoort Park Hotel

Neighborhood: Manhattan - Murray Hill

Style: Modern Design

Atmosphere: Happening

249 Rooms

If you’d said a few years ago that one of the cornerstones of the Meatpacking District nightlife and hospitality scene was going to pick Murray Hill for a sequel, most of us would have scoffed. That may be why most of us aren’t successful real-estate developers. Some people, though, were savvy enough to see that this onetime no-man’s-land — too far south to be midtown, too far north to be downtown — would be one of the next rising neighborhoods. Among them, the incisive reader will have by now guessed, was the Gansevoort group, whose Gansevoort Park now stands at the corner of 29th and Park Avenue South.

The interiors, including the 249 stylish guest rooms, are palpably influenced by the prewar Gotham romance of Park Avenue. Even at the lower end the rooms are certainly spacious enough by Manhattan standards, and all come equipped with the current luxury-hotel standards, right down to the iPod-ready sound systems.

Of course the appeal of a hotel like the Gansevoort Park is at least as much about its common spaces. Here they certainly haven’t skimped. For guests there’s a gym and spa, and the ground floor is home to retail and dining spaces as well as a Cutter hair salon. All very fine, but you’ll want to head straight for the roof, where three stories of rooftop bars and lounges are oriented around an indoor-outdoor pool.

The Spa

The Exhale experience combines spa treatments with high-end exercise classes including yoga and “Core Fusion” (focusing on strengthening core abdominal muscles and giving a work out). A blend of Pilates, plies, stretching, and Vinyasa-based yoga, Core fusion offers 10+ classes a day in their yoga studio. Exhale also features packages, such as the Bridal package, focusing on 6 weeks of nutrition and fitness while incorporating facials and pampering for the skin and face.
