The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the 'bringing the outside in' aesthetic and the window nooks, but frequently mention the rooms feel smaller than expected.
1 Hotel Central Park
$500-1100+/ Nacht
Buchen Sie dieses Hotel, wenn You want to sleep in a high-end terrarium just steps from Central Park and don't mind sacrificing room size for biophilic design.
Warum Gäste es lieben
- Incredible biophilic design with 24,000+ plants and reclaimed wood everywhere
- Window nooks with cushions that make perfect reading spots overlooking the city
- Jams restaurant by Jonathan Waxman offers excellent farm-to-table dining right in the lobby
Kurzfassung: A stunningly designed eco-sanctuary that feels like a breath of fresh air until you see the $110 valet charge and realize your bathroom sink has no door.
Bewertet von @roxanne_fashionably: I stayed in this City King room and honestly, the window nook was my favorite spot. It felt like a calm little forest right in the middle of Manhattan. The glass shower is super cool too!
Was Gäste, die hier übernachtet haben, sagten
Reality check
The 'sustainable' ethos is lovely until you deal with the motion-sensor lighting that might turn off while you're showering or the lack of a proper desk in some rooms.
- You are a solo traveler or couple who values aesthetics over square footage
- You prioritize a high-end gym (The Field House is excellent)
- You want to be exactly one block from Central Park's southern entrance
Sauberkeit & Instandhaltung
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally excellent and 'ninja-like', though occasional reports of dust in hard-to-reach reclaimed wood crevices.
- Bathroom hygiene: Mostly pristine, but the open-concept sinks can lead to water splashing into the living area.
- Maintenance: Good condition, though some wear and tear on the reclaimed wood floors is expected (and intentional).
- Linens & towels: High-quality organic cotton and hemp blends—feel textured but luxurious.
- Odors & scents: The hotel has a strong, signature cedar/sandalwood scent that most love, but it can be overpowering for some.

Zimmerwunsch-Genie – kopieren & einfügen

FAQ & Geheimtipps
Alles, was Sie vor der Buchung wirklich wissen möchten.
Is there a pool?
No. Unlike its Brooklyn Bridge sister property, the Central Park location has no pool.
How much is parking?
Valet parking is extremely expensive at approx. $110 per night (plus tax). Self-parking garages nearby are cheaper.
Is it pet friendly?
Yes, very. Pets are welcome (up to 40lbs usually) often without an extra fee, though policies can shift so always confirm.
Does the hotel have a house car?
Yes, an electric Audi e-tron is available for drops within a 15-block radius, but it's first-come, first-served and often busy.
Are the bathrooms private?
It varies. Many rooms have an 'open plan' vanity/sink area that is open to the bedroom, which some guests find lacks privacy.
What is the 'Guest Amenity Fee'?
It is a mandatory daily fee (approx $52) covering WiFi, gym access, the house car, and Nespresso pods.
