Best for

Best suited to adults seeking a privacy-forward, design-centric luxury stay in the Meatpacking District, especially those who value quiet rooms (soundproof windows) and high-touch dining options (Dining Room plus champagne and caviar bar). It also fits culture-focused travelers who want to be near the Whitney Museum of American Art and The High Line while still having a rooftop infinity pool and elevated in-room comforts.

Travel tips

The nearest subway station is about a 7-minute walk, making it practical to reach Midtown landmarks like the Empire State Building (about 2.1 km), Times Square (about 2.7 km), and Grand Central Terminal (about 3.0 km). Plan time for nearby walkable highlights—Whitney Museum of American Art is just around the corner and The High Line is under 1 km away. If you’re aiming for the most exclusive accommodations (such as the penthouse), note that availability may be limited and booking may involve an inquiry process.
