PARK HYATT NEW YORK
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: My stay at Park Hyatt New York was exceptional from start to finish. After entering on the ground floor and taking an elevator to the lobby, I was pleased to find no wait at the check-in desk. After answering a few questions about my personal preferences and getting my room keys, I was quickly in the elevator and on my way to my 1 Bedroom Sleep Suite by Bryte, eager for the experience that awaited me.
GUEST QUARTERS: Upon entering my suite, I was immediately awed. The door opens into a small entryway, off of which sits a half-bathroom. To the left, the suite opens up into a spacious living room boasting an armoire housing the minibar; a sofa; a mounted flat-screen TV; and a desk, which overlooks windows with views of NYC and Central Park through the breaks in the buildings. I was especially happy to find an incredible cheese plate, beautifully presented under a glass dome, waiting for me on the living room coffee table.
The star of the suite sits in the bedroom, The Restorative Bed by Bryte, adorned with a sleep mask, essential oils and a sleepytime tea to help promote a good night’s sleep. The bed features a smart mattress connected to technolog y that helps optimize sleep nightly. The bed can be adjusted to a guest’s personal sleep preferences, from temperature to mattress firmness, via a tablet next to the bed. I chose a gentle motion to wake me the next morning, which preceded a full report on my sleep from the Bryte bed.
It’s also suggested guests take a warm bath before climbing into the Bryte bed for the night, and an inviting bathtub sits in the full bathroom, to the right of the bedroom’s entrance. A short hallway with a closet leads into the bathroom, with the standalone tub, a water closet and a large shower with an incredible rainfall showerhead. Le Labo bath amenities boasted a pleasant scent. A one-night stay wasn’t long enough!
SERVICES/AMENITIES: The list of the amenities is long , starting with the indoor saltwater swimming pool with eucalyptus steam room and hot tub. Spa Nalai’s three treatment rooms and Rossano Ferretti Hairspa were busy when I quickly popped my head in, and the Manhattan skyline views from the large 24hour fitness center would definitely make a workout all the more bearable.
Approximately 9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting and event space can host any type of function.
I did not have a chance to dine at The Living Room, inspired by the vibe of a New York City apartment and serving breakfast, lunch, dinner and tapas-style appetizers alongside signature cocktails and wines. I did enjoy breakfast in my room before heading out, and the food arrived quickly and was delicious.
