The Peninsula New York

The Pinnacle of Service and Style.

  • Conveniently Located
  • Spa & Fitness Center
  • Restaurant & Bars

The luxurious Peninsula New York is ideally located on Fifth Avenue and 55th Street, in the heart of New York's most prestigious shopping, cultural and business neighborhood, in Mid-town Manhattan.

An historic and grand property, The Peninsula New York is a thoroughly comfortable fusion of modern efficiencies and old-world grace. Contemporary fabrics, furnishings, and technology merge seamlessly with the many classical elements throughout the hotel.

The Peninsula New York has several excellent options for drinking and dining, including the stylish Fives - the hotel's fine dining restaurant - the intimate Bar at Fives, the elegant Gotham Bar & Lounge, and the popular Pen-Top Bar & Terrace with stunning views of the city; which is currently closed for renovation and is scheduled to re-open in May 2008 with a stylish new look.

Editorial Review for The Peninsula New York – by Gayot.com

The Scene
The New York member of this top-of-the-line hotel group is superbly located in a turn-of-the-century landmark Beaux Arts building on 5th Avenue, at the center of the city's most prestigious cultural, shopping and business area. Exquisite trompe l'oeil graces the lobby. The Pen-Top Bar's spectacular views form one of the city's best backdrops for after-work cocktails during the spring and summer. Black leather banquettes, bay windows and antiqued velvet walls set the tone in restaurant Fives, which serves contemporary grub.

The Details
As in many of the old New York hotels, the 242 rooms are fairly compact. You can enjoy silent in-room fax and a system that allows guests to use their personal cell phones as an extension of the room phones. The luxurious Belle epoque-style furnishings include writing desks. A few rooms overlook St. Patrick's Cathedral. The tri-level, glass-enclosed health club offers an indoor swimming pool, sundeck, spa services and yoga classes.

User Reviews for The Peninsula New York

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

We were passing thru NYC and decided to go to the roof bar on the Peninsula on the recommendation of a local employee. The View was GREAT!!! the atmosphere was such an Oasis from NYC. It was so serene. The Host, Stefan, was quick to greet us and quickly sat us. Our waiter, Sal, was great with the drinks and checked in with us often. If you want an outdoor bar. Nothing beets the Peninsula in Mid-Town.

Pros: best roof bar in mid-town

All hotels have flaws, no matter what the cost is, but when we arrived here after our trip to Paris, we felt that the service was better than that of The Four Seasons George V , which is said to be possibly the best hotel in the world. We did however only book a Superior room which was the entry level category, but it was very nice compared to other NY hotel rooms I have stayed in. The room service is very costly, but at $725 a night, who cares?? LOL..
