Our favourite rooms
Each room has the same spiffy styling, with perhaps an extra patterned rug, work of art or sleek bath tub in some of the suites, so it all comes down to the space you need and what you want to look at. The Corner Kings have the benefit of double-aspect views over the neighbourhood and East River, and we like the oversized Ottos Suite for their separate sitting room.
Spa
Whether you’re a never-skip-a-day gym rat or staring at the ceiling at 3am in a jetlagged haze, the 24-hour fitness centre, with Peloton bikes and Rogue weight-training kit, is a handy adrenaline outlet. Personal trainers can be arranged on request, and the hotel has a stash of maps marking out running routes and a partnership with local studio The Ness, for a selection of workouts.
Packing tips
If you’ve forgotten something, try the hotel’s pantry before you replace it – this handy little cubby has glasses-cleaning kits, sleep masks and more.
Also
Your minibar has all the high-end nibbly bits and thirst-quenchers you’d expect, plus USB cables and intimacy kits… And, in the spirit of catering to your needs, the well-connected concierge has capably handled the demands of high-profile New Yorkers.
Pet‐friendly
You can bring up to two pets a room (under 35 pounds each) for no extra charge (although a $150 cleaning fee applies for in-room ‘accidents’). They mustn’t be left unattended and can’t enter the restaurant, but bowls will be provided. See more pet-friendly hotels in New York.
Children
Bring your baby bosses, they’ll be well-accommodated. Interconnecting rooms are available and the hotel has recommended babysitters, pack and plays, family games and more child-kowtowing tricks up their tailored sleeve.
Sustainability efforts
One of the world's pearling pioneers, the Paspaley family operates 20 farms along 2,500km of Australia's Kimberley coast. The precious wild treasures grow best in an unsullied environment, so their team of divers harvest by hand; this sustainable approach has earned the company third-party certification from noted conservation outfit the Marine Stewardship Council. And, under the company's philanthropic umbrella are around 50 charitable organisations; through donating proceeds, holding fundraisers and spreading the word, the Paspaleys have provided support to causes ranging from child protection to medical research, to community support, women's rights and art and culture foundations. The hotel's also partnered with the One Billion Oysters project, which aims to repopulate New York's harbour with molluscs and make it more biodiverse. Guests can choose to donate at check-out or support the project by buying a reusable water bottle or oyster-inspired gift. The hotel’s partnership with the APY Art Centre Collective brings aboriginal painting into the spotlight, and artists involved have created works for the hotel. Plus they recycle and have eliminated single-use plastics.
