Park Lane New York, situated on Billionaires’ Row – home to the world’s most coveted addresses on Central Park South – has been completely reimagined as a departure from its neighbors and serves as a unique and inclusive retreat within walking distance of the city’s cultural hubs including Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, 5th Avenue shopping, and the Museum of Modern Art. The 47-story property features 610 rooms – nearly half of which provide sweeping park-facing views – and 11,000 square feet of reimagined indoor and outdoor event space. A fitness center perched on the fifth floor offers state-of-the-art equipment and its own separate outdoor terrace. The reimagined hotel features three new food & beverage venues throughout the hotel including an 80-seat lobby bar with an outdoor promenade, an intimate restaurant on the hotel’s second floor, and CentralPark South’s only rooftop lounge atop the hotel. Perched on the 47th floor, the cocktail bar will treat guests to a one-of-a-kind experience against the backdrop of Manhattan's sprawling skyline and park.
