GANSEVOORT PARK AVENUE

Sep 15 2016

With a rooftop pool overlooking an iconic Manhattan boulevard, a 10,000-square-foot trattoria and an in-house spa and fitness centre, walking into Gansevoort Park Avenue might just mean adding your name to the hotel chain’s long list of guests that never want to leave. The Park Avenue location, managed by esteemed hotel general manager Joel Freyberg, is Gansevoort’s second venture in New York City after its flagship Meatpacking District location. The centralized location makes the Park Avenue hotel the trendier little sister of the latter, boasting a 20,000-sq.-ft., tri-level nightlife area. Freyberg describes Gansevoort Hotel Group’s company culture as “luxury with a sense of fun and excitement,” noticeable in every detail of the 249-room and suite hotel. Most of the guest rooms include Juliet balconies, lofty ceilings and five-fixture bathrooms. Stepping out of this hotel is no exception to the “fun and excitement” aim as the hotel is located minutes away from the Empire State Building and Madison Square Park, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of Times Square to enjoy a relaxing getaway.
