Park Lane New York, a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, has recently debuted a brand-new look that's absolutely stunning. The property, which is situated on Billionaire's Row along Central Park South, offers well-heeled travelers a new luxury option in the storied and swanky neighborhood. In fact, you'll have all the high-end amenities — sans the hordes of crowds. And, while the hotel feels like a secret now, that's sure to change. Keep reading for a first-look peek.
The Look of Park Lane New York
The Park Lane rises 47 stories high. Nearly half of the 610 rooms have incredible park-facing views, a big draw for guests. The historic building, which was originally designed in a post-war style, has since been gloriously restored by Yabu Pushelberg.
Peppered throughout the property, you'll find Central Park-inspired murals depicting carnival animals in Strawberry Fields created by NYC-based artists Chandler Noah and Diego Castano of En Viu. The art extends to the hotel's guest rooms, which have chic tiled bathrooms, plush sitting areas, and Bello Fine Linens (the robes are incredible, too). There's also a fitness center, plus plenty of places to gather – be it a conference or a wedding. The property's rooftop bar, Darling, offers the perfect perch for a pre- or post-dinner drink.
The Vibe of Park Lane New York
The property is elegant and refined at every turn. Today, it's one of the most luxurious yet unstuffy hotel offerings in the city. The service is impeccable, and the surroundings offer a sophisticated setting but none of the pretension (or crowds!) of nearby properties. You'll feel equally comfortable in an evening gown or activewear.
