The New York Peninsula: Guaranteed value


A refreshing break from the standards of luxury and show-off chains that are generally found, the 234 rooms of the Peninsula are spaciously spread out over some twenty stories, breaking with the gigantic concrete blocks of its neighbours. Between a classical style in good-taste and traces of the Asian silk (family lineage obliges), this hotel remains a prestigious and top luxury address for individuals seeking intimacy and comfort.

At the heart of Manhattan

The
Peninsula New York, is, first and foremost, ideally located: on Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, a stone’s throw from Central Park and the Rockefeller Centre.
At first glance, the hotel shows traces of the Beaux-Arts past(early 20th century) and was most likely a landmark building at that time when the Gotham Hotel was still only a simple holiday spot in Central Park. Moreover, many architectural works of art created by Hiss & Weekes have been kept and exhibited to their best advantage. Moreover, the Peninsula was beautifully renovated in 1998 to the tune of no less than US $45 million, to ensure success.


Intimate atmosphere, but state-of-the-art technology

The Peninsula has retained its natural classic style, while featuring the latest innovations. It is therefore a real control panel which henceforth serves as a bedside table that allows guests to control their environment with the touch of a fingertip: air conditioning, lights, television, stereo, etc.  Before leaving the room, a useful digital panel indicates the outside temperature as well as the humidity rate.


The pleasure of senses is also on the menu for guests. At the Fives, guests will enjoy a "chic & relax" cuisine with an Asian touch; the hotel has also  an ESPA spa which  add the finishing touches to this top-of-the-range hotel with a human dimension.


In sum, between pampering and high-tech, an eternally intimate and refined address where you can’t go wrong.
