Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: A 1905 Beaux Arts landmark, The Peninsula New York occupies a coveted Fifth Avenue location in Midtown Manhattan. In the grand foyer, a double staircase crowned by a glittering chandelier sweeps up to a palatial lobby. Just off the lobby are two sitting areas: one with sumptuous silk wall coverings, the other with a trompe d'oeil sky ceiling. Richly renovated throughout, the hotel combines Old World opulence with modern luxuries.
Amenity highlights: The tri-level Peninsula Health Club & Spa (renovated September 2008) features a glass-enclosed rooftop pool with panoramic city views. Poolside dining includes spa-cuisine lunches. A wraparound sunbathing terrace overlooks Fifth Avenue. The spa includes 14 treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art fitness center, and locker rooms with steam rooms, saunas, and marble showers. On the hotel's top floor, Salon de Ning commands panoramic views from both indoors and outside.
Insider tip: The Museum of Modern Art—just two blocks from the hotel—is on many visitors' must-see lists. Guests can bypass the long lines by purchasing a VIP pass at the Peninsula's concierge desk. Private tours of art museums, walking/dining tours of Little Italy and other neighborhoods, and other customized diversions can also be arranged.
