The Gramercy Park Hotel
The Gramercy Park Hotel is situated on Manhattan’s Lexington Avenue, close to all the attractions but far enough away to provide a peaceful sanctuary after a hard day’s sightseeing. You will never be bored wandering through this four star boutique hotel. There is a touch of the Bohemian in its style with its sumptuous, custom-made traditional furniture that wouldn’t be out of place in a grand old English mansion, rubbing shoulders with pop art paintings by the likes of Andy Warhol and sculptures by Julien Schnabel.
For exploring midtown Manhattan, the Gramercy Park Hotel couldn’t be a better choice. A short walk from the hotel is the small and peaceful Gramercy Park. The park is private and only residents of the area are allowed to use it. Guests of the hotel are given a key for access. You can really feel like a local as you eat your picnic lunch or take a quiet stroll through the park on a sunny day. If Gramercy Park is not big enough, just a little further, about a mile, is that New York icon, Central Park.
You could easily spend a whole holiday just visiting the park and immersing yourself in the atmosphere. Take a step back in time and book a horse and carriage ride and, to continue the pleasures of a bygone age visit the Victorian carousel and take a whirl on one of America’s largest and oldest rides.
Also within easy reach of the hotel are the shoppers’ paradise of Fifth Avenue and the frantic energy of Times Square. The latter is best seen at night when the neon lights are simply dazzling.
If you don’t feel like venturing far the hotel is ready and waiting to offer you the relaxation and indulgence of its spa. Rejuvenate those aching muscles with a steam bath, a massage or any one of a wide range of treatments that are available. Should you still have any energy left after sightseeing then you can work some of it off in the state-of-the-art fitness room. There are free weights and cardio machines and personal trainers are on hand to give assistance if needed. The gym is open 24 hours a day.
Fine dining is available in the Gramercy’s main restaurant, the Maialino. The menu is based on Italian cuisine and this is complemented by the Roman Trattoria-styled space. On fine days, guests can take advantage of the Gramercy Terrace to have a meal outside. The terrace is on the roof and has fabulous views of the area.
The accommodation of the Gramercy Park Hotel is as individual as the public areas. All the rooms are luxuriously fitted-out and each one is slightly different. They all enjoy views of Lexington Avenue, Gramercy Park or the hotel’s courtyard.
